Case Study: Little Elm Independent School District achieves scalable, cost-effective communications for rapid growth with 8x8

8x8 Cloud Communications Enables Texas School District to Prepare for Double-Digit Growth

Little Elm Independent School District, a rapidly growing Texas district with 10 campuses and about 1,000 users, faced an urgent communications problem: two 20-year-old NEC PBXs were unsupported, could not be expanded, and strained a small IT team just as enrollment was projected to double or triple. The district needed a cost-effective, scalable replacement that would be easy for IT to manage.

After evaluating options and speaking with peer references, Little Elm deployed 8x8 cloud communications (800 Virtual Office lines) across all campuses in about two weeks. The solution delivered clear call quality, features like district-wide extension dialing, voicemail-to-email and a mobile app for IT, significantly reduced phone costs compared with POTS lines, simplified administration, and positioned the district to scale smoothly as it grows.
