As part of its strategy for the small and medium business market, Avaya has taken advantage of its presence at InfoComm 2013 to unveil its video collaboration solution for IP Office: Avaya Video Collaboration Solution.

Avaya Video Collaboration Solution is a tool that delivers high-definition experiences even on low-bandwidth connections.. Provides multi-party video conferencing and data collaboration via native SIP/H.

The solution is integrated within the Avaya IP Office unified communications platform (version 8.1) and offers a virtual conference room that can serve up to a maximum of eight participants connecting from any room system that uses standards, desktop devices or mobile devices (BYOD – Bring Your Own Device).

“A Tolly Group study has evaluated the latest version of Avaya IP Office in the medium-sized business environment, receiving the highest TCO ratings, maintenance needs and ease of use are concerned”, explains Paz Martos, general director of Avaya Spain and Portugal. “By adding these new video capabilities to our IP Office solution, We raise the bar for what a company should demand from a manufacturer. No one else on the market is offering SMEs a more complete unified communications solution in terms of functionality., simplicity and at a reasonable cost”.

According to the consulting firm IDC, he 30% of medium-sized companies are already using some type of videoconferencing resources beyond a simple webcam. Plans to use this type of resources also have a similar percentage, which allows us to assume that there will be a significant growth in the use of this type of services in less than twelve months.
