Case Study: Muskogee Public Schools achieves rapid ROI, lower TCO and enhanced security with Mitel

Muskogee Public Schools - Customer Case Study

Muskogee Public Schools, a progressive district serving 6,300 students across 14 sites, faced rising costs and limited functionality from a piecemeal Cisco phone system. The district needed improved telephony features, stronger emergency response capabilities, and simpler, more affordable administration and maintenance while maximizing taxpayer value.

Muskogee deployed Mitel’s unified communications—including IP phones, voice switches, conferencing, voicemail-to-email and an Emergency Notification Application—over a single weekend after upgrading to fiber between sites. The new system cut handset costs by 75%, eliminated $70,000+ in annual maintenance, delivered payback in about three years, and reduced total cost of ownership while enabling in-house administration and faster, more accurate emergency notifications.
