Phone Systems For Schools & Nonprofits

Reliable communication is just as vital for schools and nonprofits as it is for businesses of all sizes. In fact, with slim budgetary margins and many logistical challenges, finding a dependable way to communicate their message might be the most crucial job of daily operations for these organizations.

Crystal-Clear Messaging

To be successful, schools and nonprofits must concentrate on the learning they champion and the causes they support. Whether you are an educational institution or charitable organization, you must be able to communicate clearly and at a moment’s notice with faculty and staff, students, parents, colleagues, and the general public—no matter if your message is about an educational initiative or a crucial cause.

VoIP For Schools

VoIP is an effective communication tool essential for administrators as they manage learning environments. Schools are often sprawling campuses with telecommunications needs spread out over a number of different buildings. VoIP unifies that network with reliable solutions, enabling high-end, yet cost-effective communications that fosters success and keeps students safe.

Build Stronger Relationships

Features like video conferencing, voicemail, and instant messaging inspire collaboration between teachers and students, between students and other students, and between teachers and parents.

Increase School Safety

A VoIP-enabled emergency notification system increases the ability for schools to manage potential threats by empowering officials to alert authorities in the event of a dangerous situation. Through the creative connectivity of VoIP, when 911 is dialed at the school, notifications are sent to administration officials and other key people, alerting them to an emergency. We’re fully integrated with Kari’s Law and Ray Baum’s Act, two federal laws that strengthen emergency calling.

Offer Comfort Through Reliability

Any technology that supports student services must be completely reliable. There’s the issue of safety, but also the general necessity of parents and officials to reach the school at all times. This is especially vital at boarding schools, for example, where you might have upwards of 100 students living in one dormitory. In this instance, there absolutely must be a clear, reliable connection between the school and parents, as well as health centers, police, and fire departments. VoIP meets these concerns with high-quality calls and faster connectivity.

Control Costs & Protect Infrastructure

With VoIP, schools don’t need to use traditional (expensive) landlines to send and receive calls and messages. In fact, you can get rid of hard-wired analog lines going to elevators, along with underground copper cabling, which can all be damaged or hit by lightning, thus requiring expensive replacements or fixes. With fiber underground or wireless between rooftops, an entire campus can be more reliably connected with CCi Voice.

 

Integrate Into Existing System

Our engineers know how to integrate our hosted VoIP service with older, analog equipment, allowing for a gradual transition to new technology, in case of budget limitations.
