VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) allows you to make and receive phone calls using your internet connection instead of a traditional phone line. There are many benefits such as:

Cost Savings 

VoIP systems are generally much cheaper than traditional phone systems and are operated via a laptop or PC, utilising the existing internet connection. This means there are reduced hardware and maintenance costs and it's an environmentally friendly way to communicate through reduced production and waste of new products.  

Improved Flexibility 

VoIP enables the easy addition or removal of phone numbers, making it simple to add and remove users according to the school or Trusts needs. Staff can access their extensions from any location, enhancing communication and flexibility. 

Enhanced security 

At iCT4, we ensure you get advanced security features as part of your VoIP package, protecting your data, conversations and communications so that any sensitive information remains secure. 

A future proof solution 

Integrating modern cloud-based, technologies such as VoIP provides the foundations for digital transformation. Nowadays many digital tools work together to provide a better user-experience. For example 3CX integrates well with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, reducing the number of logins required and further improving security. 

Specific benefits for education:

• Third-party integration allows teachers and students to access and use education tools and applications during a video call.

• Call routing and dedicated number allocation allows schools and trusts to set up automatic switchboards, clubs and trips phones, absence voicemail or dedicated absence reporting phone number.

• By adopting cloud based telephony, schools can modernise their wider communication infrastructure and align with their wider digital transformation strategy.
