Move over iPad, the Flare from Avaya will change the way business is done in this high-tech market. It merges business communications technology into one easy-to-use, convenient device, combining email, smart phone, video conferencing and instant messaging.

The Flare is an 11.6 inch desktop tablet device that gives real time office collaboration that can function anywhere in the world. It features a touch screen interface on HD video and voice calls. This device lets you Email, Instant Message, Browse the web, Sync your contact lists, use Android apps, use Microsoft Exchange software, and perform video and voice multi-party conferencing.

Flare supports the standard USB devices such as a keyboard, mouse, headset, flash drive speakers or external storage device. It is also Wi-Fi enabled to facilitate hotspot roaming.

Communication with the Flare is simple and fool proof. Just choose the person from the contact list and check their available method of communication – voice-calling, video calling, IM or email.

With video-conferencing, simply select who is to be included. Multiple persons can be in separate conference calls with just a click and a drag. Each group can be made the priority by dragging the groups to the spotlight. Instant messaging is even possible within the conferencing groups by simply touching the IM icon to chat offline.

The Avaya Flare runs on the Android software platform so it incorporates many favourite Android apps at the touch of an icon; combining all the fun of social networking and instant messaging with business know-how.

Flare can provide a contextual history of any and all communication from voice calls, video calls, emails and chats to social media exchanges. The Screenshare option lets you share documents and video conference at the same time from one instrument.

Flare has taken all the staples of current communications technology and merged it into one device, making it the ultimate in smart technology. In the Caribbean, Flare is available through LIME.
