Growing Campus Communication

“Backend infrastructure and maintenance is significantly less expensive with software-based telephony compared to the traditional PBX environment. Thanks to Dell Unified Communications, we expect to reap those savings much sooner.”

- Arlene McDonald, manager of IT operations, Georgian College, Canada

Communications services weren’t keeping up with the growth of the college, but upgrading them seemed impossible with the IT staff already fully engaged in other projects.

Georgian College used Dell Global Infrastructure Consulting Services to help plan, design, and implement a scalable solution using Unified Communications.
