Release Management

Release Management 

The Release Management Dashboard provides customers with a centralized view of software versions, firmware, and platform configurations across their Avaya infrastructure. It helps ensure all systems are up-to-date, secure, and aligned with internal compliance policies by tracking application versions, patch status, and hardware vintages. This visibility supports effective change management, reduces risk, and simplifies audits.
