Avaya (NYSE:AVYA), a global leader in solutions to enhance and
simplify communications and collaboration, today announced a
redesign of its award-winning Avaya Vantage™ desktop device to
significantly improve the home-office experience. The reimagined
Avaya Vantage is an all-in-one meeting solution for the home office
which includes a built-in high definition conferencing camera, wide
band audio and four microphones, enabling an exceptional
collaboration experience without requiring the use of a laptop.
Avaya also announced that it has integrated the Avaya Vantage
with its Avaya Spaces™ collaboration app. Avaya Spaces is the
cloud-based team collaboration and meeting tool that is changing
how work gets done, enabling the digital workplace by bringing
together distributed groups of people instantly with immersive work
spaces where they can message, meet, share content, manage tasks
and collaborate in the cloud.
Avaya Spaces delivers immersive virtual communications and team
collaboration to ensure everyone is connected and informed, with
the best ideas being actioned, regardless of location. Its
capabilities -- including chat, audio and video conferencing, file
sharing, task management, and more -- enables hyper-fast decision
making – and breaks down barriers to immediately process change
across teams and departments. It provides a 24x7 follow-the-sun
work platform where globally distributed teams collaborate as if
they were in the same room.
The Avaya Vantage and Avaya Spaces™ are central to Avaya’s
Composable Home Office Solutions strategy – which is driven by the
Avaya OneCloud™ framework and leverages the capabilities of Avaya
OneCloud™ UCaaS, CCaaS and CPaaS. This new approach empowers
businesses with the capability to compose personalized home office
experiences for their employees and customer service agents.
“Avaya Vantage and Avaya Spaces are examples of the powerful
building blocks available for our customers to compose solutions to
increase the productivity of home office workers,” said Simon
Harrison, Avaya SVP and CMO. “Avaya OneCloud™ is accelerating
digital transformation for our customers by delivering packaged
business capabilities and connecting them with everything the cloud
has to offer.”
Avaya’s recent “Work From Anywhere” survey reveals that 65
percent of companies polled are adding new video conferencing
solutions as they adapt their workforce to what is likely to be a
long-term trend toward more home offices. Analysts estimate that
there are now over 1 billion knowledge workers globally, and before
the pandemic the percentage of these who worked remotely was in the
low single digits. New estimates indicate that when the pandemic is
over, 30 percent of the workforce will work from home at least a
couple of times a week.
With this shift to a remote workforce, the laptop has become the
new “office” – being used for calling, meetings, messaging – as
well as for completing work projects. As a result, laptops have
become crowded with numerous CPU-intensive apps, and work must
often be paused to use the softphone or to participate in meetings.
The newly redesigned Avaya Vantage is a breakthrough solution that
elevates today’s home office experience by offloading calling and
meetings from the laptop onto a purpose-built device.
Avaya also announced that it has included new “screen shifting”
technology in the Avaya Vantage to enable new flexibility when
participating in a meeting. Content, meeting participants, or both
can be shifted to a larger screen based on the meeting dynamics at
any given time. And for presenting content, one touch on the Avaya
Vantage opens the same meeting on a laptop to enable the
presentation.
“The new Avaya Vantage is three times more powerful than the
previous version -- and delivers the versatility and simplicity
required for work at home communications,” said Anthony Bartolo,
Avaya EVP and Chief Product Officer. “This new Avaya
innovation-at-the-edge enables employees to orchestrate their home
office meetings experience in a way that works best for them.”
WiFi support means that the Avaya Vantage can be put anywhere,
and it has complete connectivity to most any headset, keyboard /
mouse, external camera, and an external display. It provides the
ultimate in simplicity of setup and use, integrates with existing
Avaya OneCloud platforms as well as standards-based video
infrastructure, and allows access and use of the cloud-based
applications of choice.
The Avaya Vantage is available with Avaya’s Device as a Service
(DaaS) offering which means it can be provided to home office
workers for a small monthly fee.
