Abou-Ltaif also ensures that Avaya’s solutions not only deliver posi- tive business outcomes, but also provide equality of experience, particu- larly for the one in seven people worldwide with special needs. These efforts were accelerated during the pandemic, with access to services becoming an important marker of an organisation’s ability to serve the public’s needs. Banking services that can be used by hearing-impaired citizens, virtual learning solutions for special-needs children, and healthcare connectiv- ity for the citizens of Beirut are just a few of the Avaya-developed solutions that are improving access to key services across the region.
