FAQs About our Telecom Solutions for K-12 & Higher Education

Hosted Phone System (PBX)

Rather than have the phone system (PBX) IN the office, our Hosted Phone System is on our cloud, helping reduce costs, insure uptime and ease burden on your technical team.

Fully featured from simple “find me/follow me” functionality that will simultaneously ring to fixed mobile convergence applications to making and receiving business calls on personal mobile devices, our softphone's calling features are tied directly to the business dial plan.

Our softphone integrates seamlessly with advanced telephony features including Call Center and ACD, as well as front-office applications like Auto Attendant and Receptionist.

SIP Trunking

SIP trunking enables you to save on costs (when compared to PRI), have geographic flexibility which is uniquely beneficial for a remote work force, and opens the door to take advantage of Unified Communications (voice, message, collaboration) while still maintaining control of your phone system.

Instant Messaging and Presence

Instant Messaging and Presence, or IM&P, allows employees to engage anyone in the company and get answers in an instant by sending a message from the softphone app.

The Presence indicator is dynamically updated using phone and calendar status, so it is always accurate.

Desktop and File Sharing

A Desktop & File Sharing application facilitates the free and fast flow of information critical to effective decision-making.

Desktop sharing allows users to see and share presentations, spreadsheets, and other media from any location across any network. 

The file push capability speeds up workflows and fosters collaboration in the workplace. 

Video Conferencing

Conduct video teleconferences in high fidelity, ensuring a more vibrant and productive call that reproduces the feel of being in the office together.

Use multimedia integration with enterprise applications like CRM, ERP, and Vertical Apps to deepen the video call experience.
