Mitel, a global leader in business communications, recently announced the arrival of its new MiTeam Meetings solution. This continuous collaboration offering tightly integrates chat, video, and voice with the Mitel MiCollab application, offering a real-time virtual workspace and meeting environment.
As the increasingly globalised business environment continues to push companies to discover new modes of efficient collaboration, tools like MiTeam Meetings could lead the way. In times like these, with record numbers of people asked to work from home for weeks on end across different time zones, complexity and delays in project completion and decision-making become increasingly likely. There’s even the risk of shadow IT to consider, particularly in business landscapes that rely on disconnected communication channels.
MiTeam Meetings aims to eliminate these issues, providing a valuable tool in an environment where demand for remote working is growing faster than ever amid global health concerns. Mitel is leveraging the AWS (Amazon Web Services) global cloud solution to deliver an experienced that pulls the various threads of the global team together.

A recent survey conducted into 2,500 business professionals across North America, Australia, and Western Europe found that 74% respondents believed collaboration and communication tools would increase their productivity. Over half of the participants also ranked face-to-face meetings as the best way to communicate, with 40% highlighting video to become more frequent in the next five years. MiTeam Meetings allows companies to unlock the true potential of their employees in a collaborative landscape.
According to the Chief Product Officer of Mitel, Tarun Loomba, the nature of how and when we work is evolving, with dispersed time zones, meetings, and remote workers to consider.
“With the ability to continuously collaborate, businesses can capture the essential ingredients for effective teamwork, enrich the meeting experience, and fuel employee productivity."
"With boundaries erased, meetings on the other side of the world now feel like they’re happening right across the table”
As a simple-to-deploy solution for meetings and collaboration, MiTeam Meetings allows for seamless movement between video, voice, and chat. This means that teams have the freedom to collaborate and enhance their connections, however they choose, without the need for excessive travel. Collaboration doesn’t have to end when a meeting does. Users have the freedom to return to their group’s workforce, refer to notes, review documents, and more, all within the same application.
Users can even launch a new meeting whenever they choose from within the same environment.
