More often than not, schools are operating on tight budgets and have to make tough decisions when purchasing technology. That’s one reason why so many schools are still using outdated phone systems. But this can have unintended negative implications for schools, such as the financial drain from supporting archaic and inefficient technology, communications that are unreliable, and campuses that remain disconnected. However, Unified Communications (UC) systems can change the narrative for educational institutions.
Because UC is VoIP-based, it can reduce overall communications costs for schools (sometimes by as much as 60%). And it can also reduce overall technological costs by integrating multiple technologies into one system. Most people think of phone systems as just a means for executing incoming and outgoing calls, but UC systems can be used for so much more.
One unique way that schools, in particular, can benefit from a UC system is its ability to facilitate intercom and paging communications. This enables schools to solve the issue of disconnected campuses with one solution while ultimately alleviating budget constraints by eliminating unnecessary spending.
Here are three ways schools can use UC for intercom and paging needs.
