Avaya Equinox Meetings Online is a revolutionary solution that will allow customers agility, flexibility and most importantly allow them to take communications and collaboration with them across applications, browsers and devices.”
Avaya India and SAARC Sales and Engineering Director Kuntal Shah added: “Through Avaya Equinox Meetings Online, we have enabled collaboration technology to move beyond dedicated video conferencing rooms to the desktops and mobile devices people use every day. Businesses today are increasingly investing in cloud technology, and as millennial workforce and new generation technology evolves, it is essential to be connected and be able to serve your customers from anywhere, at any time and this is what we are enabling today with Avaya Equinox Meetings Online.

“The telecommunication and information services are the key growth component within the Sri Lanka services sector and have delivered steady growth over the previous years. The country initiated process of adopting Fifth Generation (5G) technology which will enable futuristic technology applications using robotics and digital transformation solutions. Businesses across the globe and in Sri Lanka are today transitioning from being traditional, to mobile and agile This creates a huge opportunity for the right unified communication and collaboration technology.
