SchoolMessenger

SchoolMessenger serves as a trusted adviser to educators across the United States. The company’s notification solutions and services give administrators, teachers, and staff a reliable, uninterrupted line of communication with parents.

SchoolMessenger for Cisco Unified Communications gives schools a Web-based, auto-dialing outbound communications solution that integrates with Cisco Unified CallManager and utilizes Cisco Unified IP phones. A single central system uses the existing IP telephony investment to simplify management while delivering capabilities to multiple sites. Solution features and benefits include:

• Automatic and rapid alerts for parents and students about absences, upcoming events, meetings, exam dates, and more to keep them better informed
• Instant emergency information to students and parents district wide
• Personalized voice messages and emails that can be sent to thousands
• Time savings for staff (automated solutions) and simplicity for support teams (a single system with flexible interface options)

Some schools still need to manually dial each parent individually or even send out mailers. The SchoolMessenger communications platform eliminates these labor-intensive and slow processes. For those schools and districts using a private branch exchange (PBX)-based autodialer, the solution eliminates the need to dedicate costly phone circuits by using Cisco Unified CallManager. The native Java Telephony Application Programming Interface (JTAPI) for Cisco Unified CallManager lets administrators add and configure ports and assign them to the outbound calling system.
