As a result, Avaya customers can experiment with the metaverse and add contact center capabilities without having to bring in a new platform or go through a major upgrade,” says Zeus Kerravala, Founder and Principal Analyst, ZK Research.
The Metaverse Experience is one of several concepts being demonstrated by Avaya at the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo in Barcelona, where the company is showcasing solutions that enable organizations to turn every moment with customers into momentum for their businesses.
