Norwood School Selects Objectworld to Deliver Unified Communications to Faculty and Staff
School Staff Improves Responsiveness and Workforce Productivity
Objectworld Communications Corp., a provider of unified communications and communications-enabled business process (CEBP) software solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) with Microsoft® Windows® platforms, today announced that Norwood School has selected Objectworld UC Server® to provide unified communications to the faculty and staff members. Now, Norwood’s 120 faculty and staff members who teach 530 students can improve responsiveness and increase efficiency by accessing and responding to incoming messages from any location at any time of day.
School safety and staff responsiveness are paramount at Norwood School, and the school required a simple-to-use solution that allowed faculty to access faxes, e-mail and voice messages via a single interface from a tablet or blackberry device. Objectworld UC Server provides that one-stop messaging solution with a point-and-click service environment to equip Norwood’s faculty and staff with around-the-clock access to all messages and communications.
“Objectworld UC Server has made it so easy for every faculty member to manage their communications needs via a single interface,” said David Rossell, Administrator of Network Services and Planning of Norwood School. “We selected UC Server based on the solution’s reliability and Objectworld’s capability to deliver high quality customer service. Our faculty and staff are thrilled with unified communications and how they have real-time access to all their messages.”
Objectworld’s UC Server was installed to work in conjunction with Norwood’s existing Microsoft Exchange Server with Outlook and Avaya IP Office VoIP system to supply unified communication capabilities. The installation was implemented by system integrator, Bennet Communications, located in Maryland.
Objectworld UC Server is an easy-to-manage software-based solution with Windows-based call-flow management and unified messaging tools that turns existing PBX systems into a full unified communications system. As an Active Directory-enabled application, UC Server simplifies IT administration and allows users to drive communications-enabled business productivity by linking business communications with business processes, and corporate data. Objectworld UC Server is the most cost-effective way to achieve feature-rich unified communications, while preserving PBX investment and fully leveraging the Microsoft platform.
“Today, a teacher’s responsibilities go beyond the classroom,” said David Levy, President and Chief Executive Office of Objectworld. “To better educate students, faculty and staff need to be plugged into what is happening with the administration, teachers and parents. We were very glad that Norwood School selected Objectworld to help it be more responsive to the needs of the people that teach our children.”
