It’s time to use just one app for collaboration

Meetings can be a productive yet slightly chaotic experience at times. You have to coordinate meeting times, confirm attendees, share an agenda - and that’s just before the meeting has actually begun.

What adds to the confusion is that these days, most companies use different apps for specific tasks. There’s your team chat app. There’s your video conferencing app. There’s your task management tool. There’s your file sharing platform. Want to discuss some customer information in your meeting? Open up your CRM. This complicated ecosystem can often lead to confusion, with problems ranging from file permissions to missed tasks.

Avaya Spaces simplifies that whole collaboration experience by bringing the best productivity and collaboration tools into one single, browser-based interface. With just a few clicks, you can arrange meetings, share files, message colleagues, even call normal phones, and much more without having to log in to different apps.

Time to take notes

With Avaya Spaces you can easily create a space for a particular project, and then share that space with your team members. You can even invite people from outside your organization to meetings and contribute, doing away with complicated login requests that have to be organized through the IT team. You can plan a team meeting in advance, or just go from a team chat to video conferencing in as little as three clicks.

Once you’ve started your meeting, you can easily share files within the space, or share your screen to discuss further ideas. Powerful AI, courtesy of NVIDIA, helps to ensure that all participants are clearly heard and seen, no matter what their connection quality is like. There’s also no need to download any third-party app to join a meeting – just a simple browser is all that’s required.

Delegation made easy

The biggest challenge after any meeting is keeping track of all the points that were discussed, as well as ensuring that action points are actually being carried out. In Avaya Spaces, you can quickly create tasks on the fly – even during a meeting – and assign them to a team member with a deadline. The advantage is that no task is forgotten about, and it can be assigned and actioned immediately.

Shared an important document briefing during your meeting? It’s still available in your space even after your meeting is ended, so participants can access any of the documents that were shared. No more sending large files via email, or using file transfer services that expire.

Everything is stored securely so that only people invited to the space can access the right data. And there’s unlimited storage on Avaya Spaces, so you don’t need to worry about how long files can be kept. Meetings can also be easily recorded with one click, which is useful for transcribing later or recapping important presentations.
