Solution facilitates remote collaboration for
education institutions including colleges and universities along
with non-profit organizations worldwide
Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE:AVYA), a global leader in solutions
to enhance and simplify communications and collaboration, today
announced that it will provide its Avaya Spaces collaboration
software for free to education institutions, including colleges and
universities, along with qualified non-profit organizations
worldwide. Avaya Spaces is recognized for its ease of
implementation and the significant impact it can have on
organizational resilience and continuity. Since January, Avaya has
seen a 200 percent increase in video collaboration traffic on this
platform.
“Coronavirus (COVID-19) is impacting the lives of people around
the globe and every day we hear new sobering stories about the very
real health and safety implications of the spread of this virus,”
said Jim Chirico, CEO of Avaya. “There is an especially immediate
need in the education sector as school and university
administrators consider the safety of their students while ensuring
continuity of their classes, engagement with their students and
delivering on their educational objectives. Avaya has four million
UC and contact center seats in the state, local government and
education market worldwide – so we understand the demands of that
sector and targeted our Avaya Spaces offer accordingly.”
Avaya Spaces provides a cloud meeting and team collaboration
solution that enables people and organizations to connect and
collaborate remotely – and goes beyond integrating chat, voice,
video, online meetings and content sharing. It gives users an
extensive set of meeting and team collaboration features, including
voice and video conferencing for up to 200 participants. As a
mobile-enabled solution, it gives users a simple, secure and
effective way to track communications and manage tasks when travel
and connectivity are limited.
As early as January, Avaya teams and partners were on the
frontline in Wuhan, China to help in the initial stages of this
epidemic. The company donated audio and video equipment and
dispatched resources for speedy installation and deployment for
hospitals in the region to help medical personnel perform remote
consultation and video diagnostics as well as to enable patients to
visit virtually with loved ones. The company has also worked with
government health departments in the U.S. to get emergency call
centers up-and-running in a matter of hours. Avaya continues to
explore opportunities to help during this global challenge,
including helping customers ensure that contact center agents can
continue delivering support to their customers in the safest way
possible through work-from-home collaboration technologies.
