Avaya Aura Messaging

GIVE USERS THE TELEPHONE INTERFACES THEY WANT, STORE THE MESSAGES WHERE YOU WANT!

Unified Messaging with User Experience Choices and Deployment Flexibility

Avaya Aura Messaging gives users access to email, voicemail, and fax from a single interface.

This unified messaging solution is built for stability and flexibility. Avaya uses an all-Linux platform with local survivability and geo-redundant capabilities to serve large distributed or centralized configurations, with the option to store messages in an Avaya and/or Microsoft Exchange message store.

Avaya provides migration services to move from Octel Aria 250/350 and Intuity Audix systems to Avaya Aura Messaging. Traditional voicemail users can continue using their familiar Octel Aria and Intuity Audix experiences.

Avaya Aura Messaging is the only unified messaging system integrated with the Avaya Aura Platform.

Maintain Productivity with a Familiar User Interface: Users migrating from Octel Aria or Intuity Audix can be up and running with minimal retraining required.

Use an Avaya or Microsoft Exchange Message Store: Choose where to store messages on a user basis to address architecture and governance requirements.

Add a Speech-Based Auto Attendant: Make it easy for callers to route themselves to the right person or service. Improve the service given to callers and save the need for an IVR.

User Interface Continuity: An ideal upgrade for legacy Avaya voicemail, Avaya Aura Messaging gives users familiar interface options: an interface typical of Octel Aria 250/350 systems, or an Intuity-like experience found in Avaya Intuity AUDIX or Definity AUDIX systems.

Migration Made Easier: Simplify and accelerate migration initiatives and address message retention requirements. Transfer mailbox data, messages, and recorded names and greetings when moving from Octel 250/350 and Intuity Audix systems to Avaya Aura Messaging.

Dependable Operations: The application server and message store is Linux based, reducing concerns about security, maintenance, and downtime that can accompany other operating systems. Choose where to store messages on a per-person basis to address architecture and governance requirements. Add N+1 application servers and a geo-redundant message store for extra protection against unanticipated outages.

Integrated Mobility: The Reach Me features lets callers connect with users after they’ve been directed to voicemail. Notify Me provides multiple methods for message notification. Optional Speech to Text transcribes messages and delivers them where you want.

Avaya Aura Conferencing (AAC)

Integrated Conferencing on Any Device

INTEGRATED AUDIO, WEB, & VIDEO CONFERENCING

EASY ON USERS, BUDGETS, AND IT STAFF

Put collaboration tools in all your users’ hands, no matter which smart phones, desktops, or tablets they’re using. Get audio, web, and even video conferencing, so you can call a meeting and everyone can connect.

Let your users focus on meeting purpose and content—instead of logistics. Calendar integration lets people easily schedule and join meetings. Participants know and control what’s happening in the conference thanks to the easy-to-use Avaya interface.

Taking conferencing in-house saves service provider and network trunking fees. It can also significantly reduce your WAN usage and costs.

Never Worry About Availability

Conduct hundreds of conferences, bringing thousands of people together to collaborate simultaneously. You don’t need to think of conferencing ports as a scarce resource anymore

Save Serious Bandwidth

When you have multiple participants at the same location, send just one copy of the same audio and video traffic across your network instead of one per user.

Simplify Your Life with a Single Conferencing Platform

Use one platform to host meet-me style conferences, or initiate ad hoc multi-party interactions from your unified communications experience using voice, content sharing, and video.

Make Your Meetings Easier to Plan, Faster to Start, and More Secure

Add conference logistics to your meeting invite with the click of a button, and just click to join when the time comes. See a real-time roster of participants to eliminate those repetitive roll calls, and let everyone will know who is speaking and where any disruptive noise is coming from. Let anyone share content or capture notes, action items, and questions. Allow meetings to continue even if the host leaves. Make your meetings more secure by using your own system not shared with any other enterprise, and when necessary, locking the conference so no one else can join.
