Avaya’s Aura Conferencing 7.0 Software is set to Debut and Change Business Conferencing for the Better

Avaya’s Aura Conferencing 7.0 Software is plugged as the next big thing in conferencing software.  It is a multi-modal system and one that is going to be compatible with Apple iPads and MS Windows PCs.  In addition to the Aura Conferencing 7.0 system, the company will also debut the Avaya Flare Experience.

The conferencing software on its own will give users the chance to enjoy unified web and voice collaboration regardless of whether they use PCs, Macs, Smartphones or even tablet PCs.  The “open standards-based SIP architecture” (the new standard in business) allows multiple device transmission as well as enhanced security.

However, besides the standard features, the company is also debuting an effective interface design, known as the intuitive Avaya Flare Experience.  This interface will allow easy voice collaboration, consolidated directories and real time document sharing, along with instant messaging capabilities.  Other benefits of using the system include:

• Secure Collaboration (not just encryption but also corporate network deployment and the ability to block unauthorized access)
• Unified conferencing elements, meaning users can actually share applications at their own speeds.  This will allow demonstrations and presentations in real time.
• Record and playback abilities, slide shows and even white boarding.
• And 50% savings from usual conferencing expenses.

The system is said to have the capability of maximizing return on investment in a quick turnaround time—perhaps only half a year.  The ability to take video conferencing and all other PC operations “on the road” and from almost any location is certainly an attractive feature.
Collaboration is not dependent upon shares software—it works with any web browser, even a Smartphone web browser.  This includes PCs, laptops and iPads.  Bandwidth usage is also reduced, which is a major relief on resources, thanks to the design’s superior architecture and “built-in functionality.”

This is perhaps the most significant feature, as the inability to reduce networking resources and budget is what prevents many companies from embracing this technology in the first place.  The fact that video conferencing is now becoming affordable is a huge step in the right direction, and is sure to convince more companies to take their communications to the web.
