What’s new AVAYA ACR 15 ! Just today i was forced to deploy Avaya ACR 15.1 for our important customer for POC purpose. the moment i logged into the application via web i didn’t felt any change as far as interface or GUI is concerned. However, i was looking into the document and found number of new features enhanced in Avaya ACR 15.
