Quote
"The Mitel IP solution has enabled us to streamline the way we communicate with students, parents and staff. Parents can now just phone in and leave a message to report their child sick and all members of staff teaching the child that day are notified via the e-register, saving precious time and resources. Teachers also have personal voicemails for the first time, which can be configured through their PCs to notify students, parents and colleagues of their whereabouts. The entire solution gives us a robust, scalable and reliable communications network for monitoring student absenteeism levels as well as keeping all concerned parties fully informed at all times."
