A modern communications platform is far more than just a phone system. School organizations are beginning to transform communications, safety, and collaboration with fully integrated ecosystems specifically designed for school districts.
This session will provide district administrators and Chief Technology Officers with a broad vision of how cloud-based communications can and is reshaping the way schools connect. The next generation of cloud communications environments empower school teams with unmatched flexibility - enabling staff and administration to work from virtually anywhere – and integrate seamlessly with advanced emergency management systems. These solutions are also packed with opportunities to enhance collaboration, making district/building teams and departments work faster, smarter, and more efficiently than ever before.
Participants in this session will:
- Learn about this new ecosystem combining enhanced voice communications, emergency notification, incident/event management, and powerful collaboration tools.
- Collaborate to identify gaps in current district communications platforms and discuss how a modern communications system would potentially work within the participants’ districts (including integration with existing tools such as Microsoft 365 Copilot and Google Workspace).
- Consider future developments in the integrated ecosystem, including the introduction of wearable devices for life safety.
