One of the biggest challenges businesses face is how to make meetings actionable and ensure the time is well spent. This is especially true as we shift to [remote and distributed](http://avoma%20is%20an%20ai%20meeting%20assistant%20with%20conversational%20intelligence.%20it%20joins%20any%20meeting%20software%20like%20zoom,%20google%20hangouts%20as%20a%20participant%20and%20records%20and%20transcribes%20the%20calls.%20however,%20it%20adds%20several%20workflows%20on%20top%20of%20that%20like%20summarizing%20the%20call,%20listing%20follow%20up%20actions%20and%20sending%20the%20data%20to%20your%20crm%20or%20another%20tool.%20it%20comes%20with%20a%20large%20number%20of%20integrations%20for%20a%20number%20of%20different%20use%20cases.%20avoma%20is%20often%20the%20system%20of%20record%20for%20all%20meeting%20information%20for%20organizations./) work environments. Organizations are struggling to ensure that communication with internal and external parties is collaborative, tracked and feedback incorporated into the appropriate workflow. Studies show that half of all meetings are [ineffective](https://timemanagementninja.com/2014/06/31-ways-your-meetings-are-inefficient/) and a waste of time costing businesses [tens of billions](https://getvoip.com/blog/2019/07/15/cost-of-inefficient-meetings/) of dollars a year.

Technology can play a big role in making meetings organized, effective and efficient and drive massive value. [Avoma](https://www.avoma.com/) addresses precisely this opportunity.

It transcribes the call, manages data entry, note taking, action items, search and playback, comments, sharing, tracking and call intelligence.
