Rich collaboration for remote workers: Turn home phones (or any other phone) into office phones with the click of a button from a web browser, while maintaining a consistent caller experience. Stay connected to your colleagues with IM, presence, and directory access just as if you were in the office. All with no end-user software to install or maintain.
Mobile access for office collaboration: Extend office phones to Apple iPhone or Android smartphone. Choose the most effective method using cellular, Wi-Fi, or 3G/4G networks. IM, presence, directory, and conference controls are integrated into the application for complete control. even better, a simple tap in an email is all it takes to download, install, and configure the application on smartphones.
Secure “Meet-Me” conferencing: Built-in 128-party conferencing means all users can host their own password-protected conference bridge (up to 64-parties per conference) to enhance collaboration. Host a multitude of calls simultaneously. Or, schedule them in advance and let IP Office notify participants automatically.
Integrated collaboration: Effective communication goes beyond voice. The ability to share and view documents together in real time takes audio conferences to the next level for better communication and faster decision making. The meeting host can even schedule the call and IP Office will remind the users when the meeting is about to start. All of this is possible without the need for additional hardware or external systems.
Integrate with the applications your business already has: If a company uses Microsoft
Lync or Outlook, or uses Salesforce.com, then Avaya IP Office can embed communications within them while maintaining the application’s interface and experience; thereby protecting the company’s investment.
Note: Lync integration does not require Lync voice licenses
Call Recording: Recording of incoming or outgoing calls is built-in. Set the frequency of recorded calls (all calls, a percentage of calls), or push a button to record calls on-demand. Send recordings directly to voice/email mailboxes for forwarding via email.
Call recording archival and retrieval: Call recording can positively impact customer service and revenue. It can also enable more meaningful training sessions. Calls can be easily and securely retrieved from any PC by searching on any number of fields such as date, time and extension number. They can also be archived to a storage device such as DVD.
