Collaboration

Over the past few years, higher education has undergone a seismic shift. As universities and colleges faced remote classes, lower levels of enrollment, and reductions in funding, they had to navigate digital transformation for online learning and admissions quickly.

What's the first thing that pops into your mind when considering selling in the public sector? Perhaps you think of how your state government or local city buys the technology they need to keep things running.

In technology, many people assume the cloud is the cloud. After all, by definition, Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) is a unified telecommunications system based in the cloud. Make or take a call, send a text, and start a video chat or webinar; those words and images are hosted in the cloud.

Did the pandemic genuinely change how we view the work-life balance? Many employees found they could be just as productive working a more flexible schedule from home as they could commuting to a 9-to-5 at the office. And they may never want to go back.

The COVID-19 outbreak “forced” many companies to allow employees to work remotely or through hybrid work models.

For most, the pandemic felt like a time of closure. Schools, restaurants, shops, and offices all shut their doors, forcing people to work from home for months. For others, however, the chance to work remotely opened new windows: the opportunity to work wherever they wanted.

Internship programs allow businesses to foster new talent and get the chance to teach, mentor, and jumpstart someone’s career.

On-prem, private hosted, and hybrid Unified Communications (UC) platforms offer unique advantages for education, hospitality, and retail organizations. Among participating companies in those industries in Metrigy’s Workplace Collaboration: 2023-24 global research study, almost 32% use on-premises UC platforms, while 24.7% use a private cloud solution.

This is the third blog in our education series. The first two blogs focused on how Mitel solutions increase staff productivity and agility and empower teachers to enhance the learning experience. This blog will focus on how the same Mitel solution investment provides a cost-effective, flexible foundation for increasing school safety and strengthening district-wide communities of students, parents, and employees.

This is the second blog in a series about the communications challenges in K-12 school districts and Mitel’s unified communications solutions to those challenges. The first blog focused on enabling efficient communications and staff agility across a school district. This blog will focus on how that investment can improve the teaching and learning experience.
