Applications Everywhere

Introduction:

An enterprise communication system serving many locations that extends the headquarters capabilities throughout the organization, provides seamless communications while reducing overall management costs.

Overview:

Avaya MultiVantage™ Applications Everywhere is an enterprise-wide communication solution where the MultiVantage Communications Applications are centralized, but distributed throughout the enterprise using a survivable architecture. This allows all employees to access the same set of communication applications throughout the enterprise, simplifying the user experience and reducing the need for training and support. Also, system management and administration is reduced as fewer systems and applications need to be managed and maintained.

MultiVantage Everywhere reduces the total cost of ownership with fewer systems to manage and maintain. Support costs are also reduced as users experience the same user interface throughout the enterprise, for both the applications and the telephones. Costs associated with moves, adds, and changes (MAC) are further reduced since the enterprise is served by centralized communication applications. Ultimately, powerful applications usually only deployed in larger locations, are now extended to smaller branch locations to improve employee efficiency.

Business Benefits

• Improves efficiency by consolidating communication assets and reducing overall system management costs.
• Enhances mobility for users by providing access to communications applications from any location.
• Enables the virtual organization where resources throughout the enterprise can be leveraged.
• Simplifies and enhances user experience and reduces training/support requirements through uniform deployment of enterprise-wide features and dial plan.
