Planning for your Avaya Aura® Messaging installation involves a simple equation. On one side, you have the Messaging system with its various components and the capabilities and capacities of the components. On the other side, you have your organization, which includes your network and a certain number of people, in one or more locations, carrying out work that varies from routine to time-critical. The goal of planning is to assess all the factors and variables on both sides of this equation and make the factors and variables equal. In planning your Messaging implementation, you essentially pair up your resources and needs with the capabilities and features of the Messaging system.
