Avaya Workplace and MyE911 Apps
Thursday, Jun. 1, 2023 at 11 a.m.
The Avaya Workplace app allows customers to extend their office number to their remote work site and is ideal for remote workers. Callers can reach remote workers on any device by calling their work telephone number, and when placing a call the caller party will see their work number and not their mobile number. Also, learn how the MyE911 app works in conjunction with Avaya Workplace if the desktop version is being used. The session is open to all VCU and VCU Health. Register at the following URL.
