Case Study: Gottesman RTW Academy achieves a safer, more efficient learning environment with Avaya

Gottesman RTW Academy Builds a Safer Learning Environment

Gottesman RTW Academy is a 200‑student Jewish community day school in Randolph, NJ that needed to replace an outdated communication system ahead of a move into a new building. The school faced unreliable emergency paging, time‑consuming maintenance of analog phones, a complicated voicemail setup that hindered parent‑teacher contact, and a one‑person IT team stretched thin.

GRTWA deployed Avaya IP Office with Avaya 1603/1608 phones integrated with Valcom analog and IP loudspeakers for emergency mass notification, paging and automated bells. The intuitive management tools, voicemail‑to‑email and classroom announcement capability streamlined communications, reduced troubleshooting and staffing needs, and achieved near‑100% emergency coverage — improving safety, efficiency and day‑to‑day operations.
