How often do you get a message from the school reception or switchboard requesting you to call a colleague, student or parent back urgently? Wouldn't it be great to a have a telephony solution with enhanced functionality so that calls can be routed directly to your mobile or a phone near to where you are working. For example a head of department can alert teaching staff of changes to timetables, classroom allocation and other daily administration tasks.
