Taft School

Founded in 1890 as a private boarding and day school, Taft School is located on a 226-acre campus in Watertown, Connecticut. The school's legacy communications system had limited capabilities, was not optimized for safety, required costly upgrades and was difficult to rewire when offices moved. To correct these issues and increase reliability and flexibility, Taft School chose Mitel cloud solutions.

At first, Taft School was reluctant to migrate its communications to the cloud. However, after seeing a demo of Mitel's cloud-based phones, the school decided it was the right choice due to the dependability and capabilities of the phones.

After deploying MiCloud Flex, Taft School no longer had to conduct periodic (and costly) upgrades and reduced their phone lines to about 500, saving $1,000 per month. On a tight education budget, that difference was huge.
