Avaya’s New 200-Seat Minimum: What It Means for You & How VDS Can Help

Avaya has recently announced changes to its Avaya Experience Platform (AXP) Public Cloud service, including a new 200-seat minimum commitment for all AXP cloud customers, effective June 30, 2025. This shift will directly impact businesses with fewer than 200 agent seats, leaving them with two options:

  1. Increase their subscription to meet the 200-seat minimum
  2. Terminate their subscription without penalty by June 30, 2025

For businesses that fall below this threshold, finding an alternative cloud contact center solution is crucial. VDS is here to help.
