The Avaya Happiness Index on Blockchain, which securely collects and automatically analyzes customer interaction data from multiple sources across all channels in real time, was voted a Gold Winner for innovation at the April 11th event at The Capitale in New York City. Ahmed Helmy, Director, Advanced Solution Architect International Market (EMEA-APAC), Avaya, joined hundreds of senior executives from some of the world’s most recognized companies to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of all of the 2018 Edison Award winners.

Being recognized with an Edison Award has become one of the highest accolades a company can receive in the name of innovation and business. The awards are named after Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) whose inventions, new product development methods and innovative achievements literally changed the world, garnered him 1,093 US patents, and made him a household name around the world.

“Our judges recognized Avaya as a true innovator out of the many products in its category,” said Frank Bonafilia, executive director of the Edison Awards.

“We’re proud to be recognized as innovation leaders, being the first to take blockchain into the customer experience industry, building an ecosystem for partners to collaborate on innovative solutions, and integrating emerging technologies to solve real customer problems,” noted Laurent Philonenko, SVP and GM, Solutions and Technologies, Avaya. “With solutions like this, we’re putting our customers ahead of their peers in their industry.”
