Avaya at GITEX 2018

Description

GITEX is one biggest tech events happening each year in Dubai. For GITEX 2017, Avaya Inc. partnered with GSLab to brainstorm on some of their ideas and bringing those ideas to life by converting them into mobile apps, and showcasing the apps in GITEX 2017. We were able to come up with 4 ideas and delivered 4 Android apps to Avaya in a very short span of time. Those 4 Android apps were showcased by Avaya (partnered with GSLab) in GITEX. Two out of those four apps (i.e. Uber for Fleet Management and Employee Tracker using Mobile App and Beacons) came out to be very successful as Avaya was able to get contracts from some clients and finally GSLab got to work on those projects as a partner of Avaya.
