Written by Workflow Voice & Data have always enjoyed long-term relationships within the Education sector.
Where we excel over other telecoms suppliers is that we don’t just offer all aspects of Telephony (including Connectivity & the supply of the equipment) but we also work hand-in-glove with our Audio Visual and Data Teams to provide truly unique solutions.
At present, the market is full of vendors solely pushing their IP Telephony platforms, however with a Duty of Care to their pupils, we have won many, many projects based on our ‘Blended’ solutions of utilising the existing infrastructure along with the latest IP technologies. This also has the added benefit of providing another layer of resilience too.
What is a Blended Telephony Solution?
A blended solution can provide greater flexibility, choice and security. It allows more than one technology to be connected to the same platform. They can provide:
Analogue, Digital (ISDN) & SIP Trunks
Digital, System DECT or IP Handsets
Analogue devices such as door intercoms and handsets
On or off premises call recording
Full networking to other schools in linked academies
Provides additional layers of resiliency by having more than one route to the outside world.
I think it really helps that we are not tied to a single manufacturer or method of supply and therefore we really do adopt a fully consultative approach with each school and begin the visit with a blank piece of paper.
If you would like us to help move you forwards with your telephony, then please contact us!
