Avaya Meeting Exchange® Express Edition
Cost-Effective Conferencing for Small and Mid-Size Businesses

Whatever the size of your business, the ability for people to collaborate with the right tools and regardless of their location, has a huge impact on productivity and cost-effectiveness. Many businesses rely on conferencing to help employees communicate quickly and effectively with co-workers, supervisors, vendors, and customers.

Avaya Meeting Exchange® Express Edition delivers the power of in-house conferencing in a package that is flexible and simple for small to mid-size businesses and branch offices to deploy and manage. Perfect for cost and value conscious businesses that require practical conferencing capability, the solution offers reservation-less or scheduled conferencing for up to 300 participants, as well as user and host features that extend beyond what is available with basic PBX-based, meet-me conferencing. And with optional Instant Messaging and Web Conferencing integration Meeting Exchange Express provides smaller businesses the collaboration capabilities that were previously suited for large organizations, in a more manageable and affordable solution.

Flexibility and Value
Meeting Exchange Express offers flexibility and a lower Total Cost of Ownership compared with outsourced services or larger conferencing solutions. Express Edition is available as a software-only solution that runs on a standard off-the-shelf server with self-installation, remote serviceability, and low administrative overhead. Or, you can choose a turnkey package including both the Meeting Exchange Express software and the Avaya S6100 Server.

The open, standards-based solution can be easily integrated with your current network infrastructure — whether it’s IP, TDM, or a mixture, and including any PBX — allowing you to leverage your existing investments and smooth your transition to IP at your own pace.

As with any on-premises Meeting Exchange solution, Meeting Exchange Express provides the opportunity to realize significant cost savings. By bringing your conferencing in-house, you can eliminate the per-use or recurring fees associated with outside conferencing services and realize an ROI in an average of six to nine months.

The Power of Advanced Conferencing Features
Meeting Exchange Express delivers an array of features designed to help make collaboration easier and more productive for your business, including:

  • Convenient reservation-less conferencing, allowing users to hold conferences any time, on demand
  • Conference scheduling via Microsoft Outlook or using a Web-based end user scheduling tool
  • Support for up to 300 participants in a single conference
  • Integration with Avaya Web Conferencing for a turnkey collaboration solution
  • Touchtone (DTMF) commands for easy access to conference controls such as mute, lock conference, participant count, conference recording (i.e. Press *6 to mute and unmute your own line)
  • Optional conference settings that can be configured system-wide or by account, such as auto extension of conference duration or capacity, entry and exit tones, name announcements, and music on hold.
  • Enhanced capabilities such as recording and playback, reporting, and XML-based billing
