7 THE VALUE PROPOSITION CUSTOMER FEEDBACK!! Increase capacity and scale in less footprint With the Pod Fx we ve been able to consolidate 60 servers down to 10 taking a tremendous amount of infrastructure costs out of our budget large ISP in NA Improved time to service; rapid, risk free deployment The Pod Fx shortened our time-to-market significantly. We were able to turn up live agents on the system within days of being deployed. CSP in NA Reduced TCO and simplified operations Over 5 years the Pod Fx solution will save us $600,000 over a DIY approach. We will then able to pass along this cost savings to our customers. CSP in NA Accelerate the business while driving out complexity 2016 Avaya Inc. All right reserved 7

14 BUILD VERSUS BUY: KEY CONSIDERATIONS 1. Time Based on Customer input, 9-12 months is the average time it takes to build a complete virtualized environment for real-time applications 2. Resourcing Does your staff have the necessary skill sets to not only build the environment but also properly maintain that environment? What training is required? 3. Lifecycle management Upgrades, patching, regression testing, compatibility matrixes, etc. Maintenance of the virtualized environment requires skilled architect / engineering resources. Building our virtualized contact center environment took 9 months and A LOT of headaches. We really see the value in the Pod Fx Solution Large North America Airline Company 2016 Avaya Inc.

15 TCO REDUCTIONS ON AVERAGE OF 40% OVER BUILD IT YOURSELF DIY Solution Pod Fx Solution System Purchase Design and Procurement System Purchase Personnel Infrastructure Maintenance Training Upgrades Expansion Migration Pre-Integrated, Turnkey Solution Reduced Infrastructure Reduced Maintenance Reduced Training Simplified Upgrades Pod Fx Savings & Benefits Pre-built and certified Avaya full-stack virtualized solution reduces implementation time Facilities costs reduced with virtualization: power, real estate, cooling, networking equipment Support costs reduced: single call support, centralized management entire solution including infrastructure. Infrastructure can be upgraded or repaired without incurring downtime. Reduced training and salary costs with the delivery of a pre-built and tested solution Ease of solution expansion servers, network, and storage can be added as needed. Solution upgrades simplified with no hardware dependencies. Realize Savings by Reducing Hidden Costs Improved High Availability Expansion/ Migration Flexibility Combining Avaya product HA with VMware HA adds an additional level of fault tolerance with the ability to restore components to normal operation in the event of a server failure. Facilities costs reduced for minor changes or additional components to the solution. Migration to newer technology is greatly simplified, i.e. newer servers Avaya Inc. All right reserved 15
