A strong Supplier Diversity Program is integral to Avaya’s values. For Avaya to achieve its goal in providing solutions that enable customers to excel and take advantage of new business opportunities, it is critical to have diverse strategic supplier alliances. It is to our advantage to have a network of suppliers who can facilitate and provide our business and our customers with exceptional products and services. Creating diverse strategic supplier alliances ensures that the suppliers of Avaya products and services reflect the diversity of our associates and our customers. To qualify as a diverse supplier, your business must be at least 51% beneficially owned, controlled, operated, and managed by members of a minority group or non-minority women-owned businesses, or service disabled veterans.
Additionally, Avaya supports small businesses as part of its Supplier Diversity Program.

Suppliers will use the CSP to submit invoices directly into Avaya’s e-procurement system versus the traditional means of sending invoices to an Accounts Payable (A/P) address for processing. Once invoices are submitted into the CSP, a supplier is able to immediately review the status 24/7 (Pending Approval, Pending Receipts, Approved, etc.).
