Schools and Academia
GHM Communications understands the individual telecom requirements of academia and schools. The telephone systems we recommend have been designed to make a schools ability to communicate, both internally and externally, as efficient and straightforward as possible.
As well as providing the best telecom and telephone systems we are also able to offer the highest level of service and support as a result of our extensive experience with schools, colleges and universities.
Telecom system features for academia include:
- Auto-attendant facility with a ‘pupil absence’ reporting option, so that parents can leave telephone messages about school absences easily
- Direct dialling to key telephone extensions which bypasses a school reception, making access to required staff members easier for the caller and also reducing the workload for school receptions
- Voicemail for all school telephones and school extension users
- A teacher’s mailbox in the school staffroom which indicates telephone messages have been left for specific staff members
- A dedicated school absence telephone mailbox
- Sophisticated telephone call barring options
- Multiple levels of service for situations such as daytime, outside of normal school hours, school holiday periods, lunchtimes and so on
- ISDN2/30 lines with direct dialling features to avoid bottlenecks at a schools reception
- The ability for the school to transfer a telephone call directly into a specific staff member’s mailbox
- One touch ‘call record on demand’ to voicemail, useful for recording complex telephone messages from parents and calls which are, or may become, abusive
- Wireless handsets for staff who are constantly mobile around the school
- Capacity which is scalable from 4 to 400 telephone extensions in one system, allowing room for expansion without the need to replace the telecom communications system
- Voice over IP (VoIP) functionality which allows staff who are working remotely or from home to make and receive calls on school numbers
- VoIP also gives the ability to use ‘soft telephones’ on classroom PCs if required as an alternative to having handsets in each classroom
- Full service support and back up from GHM Communications
