HACKENSACK, N.J., October 21, 2009 – Eastern DataComm announced today that it has upgraded the Park Ridge School District’s antiquated and multiple location phone systems to a single ShoreTel platform. ShoreTel is the provider of brilliantly simple Unified Communication (UC) solutions based on its award-winning IP business phone system. The new ShoreTel system will allow the three remote schools to communicate seamlessly, add superior functionality and ease of system management.
“The ShoreTel solution satisfied our current telecommunication needs with room for future growth.” said Dr. Patricia Johnson, Superintendent, Park Ridge School District. “The impact of this upgrade will enable Park Ridge School District to make the technological leap into the 21st century without the hidden charges or additional feature or training costs associated with previous vendors.”
During the ShoreTel installation, Eastern DataComm uncovered the need for a paging system that gave enhanced intercom ability to individual classrooms. Using ShoreTel classroom phones, the paging system and phones were easily tied together on ShoreTel’s flexible system enabling them to run on one platform.
“Eastern DataComm is a specialist in enabling school districts to communicate more effectively while meeting their growing and changing needs,” said Al Harnisch, President of Eastern DataComm. “The ShoreTel system is an asset to school systems because it eliminates the need to contact a vendor for adds, moves and changes, is easy to manage, and greatly increases the level of communication throughout the school district.”
