For over 30 years, Aura has been a trusted Avaya partner, designing, delivering, and supporting enterprise-grade communications solutions for global enterprises. From legacy on-premise systems to complex hybrid and cloud environments, we’ve helped organizations evolve their communications ecosystems with confidence, control, and minimal disruption.
Now, as Avaya ENGAGE evolves into IAUG Converge, that legacy continues. This reimagined conference has become the premier gathering for those shaping the future of enterprise communications. IAUG Converge 2025 takes place this September in Kansas, bringing together Avaya users, partners, and IT leaders from around the world for a week of insight, collaboration, and forward thinking.
Aura is proud to take the stage in 2025, to share real-world insights into hybrid transformation at scale.
As part of the “Modernizing the Avaya Ecosystem” track at IAUG Converge 2025, Aura is excited to be speaking in the “Innovative or Cutting-Edge Concepts” category – and for good reason.
In today’s enterprise landscape, the pressure to modernize is real, but full cloud migrations aren’t always realistic, especially for organizations with complex infrastructure, regulatory obligations, or legacy technology dependencies.
In this session, Aura’s Tony Parish and Brette Ciamarra will walk through our proven Integrate to Migrate strategy – a practical, flexible approach to transformation. You’ll learn how to connect Avaya and Microsoft Teams, consolidate global PSTN services, integrate third-party apps, and modernize your communications environment without disruption or vendor lock-in.
To demonstrate how this works in practice, we’ll share a case study from a multinational oil & gas enterprise that needed to modernize communications across dozens of critical sites, without interrupting day-to-day operations.
With Aura’s guidance, the organization:
The result? A scalable, secure, and future-ready communications framework that preserved existing investments while enabling collaboration across the enterprise.
This session goes beyond high-level strategy. Whether you’re managing a global contact center, overseeing infrastructure-heavy environments, or planning your next migration step, you’ll gain:
Aura’s Integrate to Migrate methodology was built for enterprises that can’t afford disruption, but need to move forward. Rather than requiring a full rip-and-replace approach, it supports phased modernization by aligning existing Avaya infrastructure with modern platforms like Microsoft Teams.
It enables organizations to consolidate global voice infrastructure into a single, manageable environment, while continuing to support legacy systems such as DECT handsets, analog lines, and elevator phones. This helps reduce risk, cost, and complexity while ensuring regulatory compliance and operational uptime.
Integrate to Migrate gives IT teams control over their roadmap and flexibility to scale where needed. There’s no vendor lock-in, no forced timelines – just a smarter, more strategic path to unified communications.
At IAUG Converge 2025, we’ll break it down step by step and show you how it’s already working in the real world.
With more than three decades of Avaya expertise, Aura has helped enterprises across sectors modernize communications at scale, without compromise. Our team brings hands-on experience, practical strategy, and a deep understanding of how to evolve complex systems with confidence.
Join us at IAUG Converge 2025 to discover how leading enterprises are transforming their communications environments without sacrificing stability, compliance, or control. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or deep into a hybrid evolution, you’ll leave this session with actionable insights and a clearer path forward.
Looking forward to seeing you at IAUG Converge 2025!
