AVST Unifies Communications for the Education Market
CallXpress® Unified Communications Platform on Display for College and University Administrators at ACUTA Conference
Foothill Ranch,
ACUTA, which stands for the Association for Communications Technology Professionals in Higher Education, is an international non-profit educational association serving colleges and universities. Representing nearly 2000 individuals at 825 institutions of higher education with members ranging from small schools and community colleges to the 50 largest
Already successful in the higher education marketplace and boasting a product line that appeals to education campuses of all sizes, AVST’s technology is a natural fit for ACUTA’s audience. As a leading provider of advanced unified communications solutions for companies and organizations of all sizes, AVST has been transforming learning environments, from small school districts to large colleges and university departments, with its CallXpress unified communications platform for more than 20 years. According to the company, communications technology is rapidly changing with the integration of voice and data applications, and educational organizations can benefit from the innovative features and capabilities of these applications without breaking the bank.
“Many higher education institutions are using outdated voice mail systems that are reaching end-of-life or no longer provide effective functionality,” said AVST’s Vice President of Marketing, Denny Michael. “As campus IT administrators consider upgraded or replacement systems, it is important that they learn about and fully understand all the options that are available to them. Those who choose to adopt unified communications will have a tremendous advantage, including increased mobility and productivity for faculty, staff and students, as well as lower costs.”
CallXpress, for example, delivers world-class call processing, voice messaging, unified messaging and advanced speech applications to help colleges and universities become more productive. Staff can manage voice, fax and e-mail messages from any location at any time—via laptop, telephone, cell phone or the Internet. In addition, the platform easily integrates with most legacy voice mail systems as well as the latest IP systems. It therefore offers quick, painless and inexpensive system upgrades through speedy implementation, simple administration and maintenance, and added user interface emulations that are already familiar to users and result in minimal training.
AVST is a Corporate Affiliate of ACUTA and has been acknowledged for its support of ACUTA’s regional and national events over the last two years. As part of its higher education awareness initiative, AVST also recently teamed with Campus Technology, the only monthly publication focusing exclusively on the use of technology across all areas of higher education, to deliver a webinar titled “The Roadmap to Unified Communications: Surprise! You May Already Have What You Need.” The webinar, which took place last week, was archived on the Campus Technology website and can be viewed at http://www.avst.com/r/ct.asp.
