Case Study: San Lorenzo Unified School District saves nearly $400,000 a year with AMS.NET’s Cisco IP telephony solution

AMS.NET Helps School District Leverage Existing Backbone for IP Deployment

The San Lorenzo Unified School District faced the challenge of replacing its outdated and expensive PBX phone system with a modern solution. Their aging system was costly to maintain and lacked the necessary features for its 1,100 staff members. The district partnered with vendor AMS.NET to leverage its existing Cisco network infrastructure for a new IP telephony deployment that would save money.

AMS.NET designed and implemented a complete Cisco IP telephony solution, including call managers, Unity unified messaging, and IP phones across all 17 district locations. The vendor executed a seamless overnight cutover for all 1,100 phones. The results were highly successful, saving the district nearly $400,000 per year in maintenance and contractor costs while providing enhanced features. AMS.NET's solution ensured no service interruption and prepared the district for future technologies.
