      Unburdened IT Teams

      Moving to a unified cloud communication ecosystem alleviates your IT team of burdens associated with managing on-premises PBX systems. UCaaS consolidates communication tools under one platform and allows for a single-pane view of system performance. Streamline onboarding and training and make setup and adoption simple 

      Increased Productivity

      With streamlined communications, student-teacher interactions are simplified. With UC, professors can send an instant message, make a phone call, or even start a video chat – all from the same interface. This eliminates the need for multiple apps or platforms, saving valuable time and consolidating communications.  

      Improved Collaboration

      Improved collaboration between students and faculty closes the feedback loop and ensures everyone is on the same page. Online collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams allow students and faculty to work together on projects in real-time, regardless of location. 

      Enhanced Security

      Safety is a priority on college campuses, and with features like location services and emergency notifications, UC keeps students safe by providing real-time information in the event of an emergency. UC platforms are also usually encrypted – making them more secure than public apps.  

      At thriving academic institutions, and via grants, research is where revenue is generated. To find success and opportunity in these research environments, faculty and graduate students need to exchange information in a safe, reliable, and efficient manner.   
        
      Often, campuses have a blend of new and old technology – telephony, classroom AV, video conferencing, instant messaging, and more. At Continuant, we support an integrated suite of communication and collaboration solutions for universities and colleges – even looking for ways to leverage existing legacy technology on campus to save you money.
