SOLVING THE COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR

The Education sector is under constant pressure from parents, management and the government to improve collaboration and results. The deployment of 21^st century technologies to enhance this is especially challenging at a time of budgetary constraint and Covid-19. Budgets are always an issue, but when having to prep for home learning and keeping the children and staff safe, its even more of a challenge.

The good news is that there’s a new technology for voice communications that means that schools can make a seamless switch, save money in the process and have a host of new features. It’s called Breathe Easy – Voice, a Cloud telephone system designed to work from anywhere … in other words you can have a phone at the school or home and it will work as if you were at the school!! The experience for incoming calls and staff is completely seamless. The best is … it might not even cost you anything. As in … compared to your current spend, often it’s cost neutral. We can review this for you.

The solution brings your teams together, whether they are in the office or working from home. All users have a range of sophisticated IP handsets as well as desktop and mobile apps available to them to maximise their productivity and enhance the usability of the service. What’s more, as a cloud-based solution our platform is always up to date and you never have to incur costly upgrades to have the latest technology again, a bit like Microsoft Office 365.

Breathe Easy – Voice finally gives schools and colleges control over their telecoms. No longer will they need to call their telecoms provider to fulfil simple configuration tasks on their system. Breathe Easy – Voice tenant management allows the support team to make and add users, move and make changes easily and quickly. Call control can be easily managed from any PC using a browser, desk phone, softphone or smartphone application.

There is also another small issue of BT making the copper end of life. I’m sure you’ve had the conversations around your ISDN lines and SIP vs Cloud.
