Create safer, more efficient, and productive classrooms
Educational institutions face challenging and unique problems everyday, and there is no tool more important for success than a high quality, flexible communications system. A modern Unified Communications (UC) system can create safer, more efficient, more organized, and more productive classrooms, lunchrooms, dorms, and libraries with robust feature sets that benefit every role on campus.
Phone systems aren’t just for office workers anymore. VoIP phone systems for schools open up an entire world of communication for all employees. Whether you are a teacher, an administrator, or an I.T. staff member, a Unified Communications system offers benefits specific to your job role. Primary Systems’ solution makes it simple to replace your legacy phone system and quickly experience the benefits of using mobile applications, dedicated conference rooms, and other advanced features that take school communications to the next level. We offer solutions that are hosted, on-premise, or virtualized that are scalable to any size environment and will provide you with instant savings over your legacy system.
