Frequently asked questions
Education phone-system questions
What is the best phone system for schools, academies, colleges, nurseries and multi-academy trusts?
The best option depends on user numbers, sites, call flows, integrations, resilience requirements and existing contracts. Intuity reviews these points before recommending cloud telephony, Microsoft Teams voice, contact centre features or a blended solution.
Can existing business telephone numbers be retained?
In most cases existing geographic and non-geographic numbers can be ported to a new provider. The porting plan should be checked before any existing service is cancelled.
Can the system support several offices and remote workers?
Yes. Cloud phone systems can connect branches, home workers and mobile users through one managed platform with shared call routing, presence and reporting.
Can the phone system work with Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Depending on the selected platform, Microsoft Teams can be used as the main calling interface or connected to a wider cloud communications service.
How is migration disruption reduced?
Intuity can document numbers, users, devices, call flows, connectivity and dependencies before migration. Testing, number-port planning, user communication and an agreed change window reduce avoidable disruption.
