Cost Savings and Consolidation:
Allied Communications understands the communication needs of K-12 Schools and develops solutions tailored to meet your immediate needs and future goals.
Our systems optimize communication, scheduling, and administrative processes that improve workflows so your team can focus on running your school. We deploy technologies which can accelerate the following objectives:
- Reduced spend: Monthly costs for outdated technology such as copper (POTS) lines, Centrix lines, and PRIs can be eliminated.
- PBX maintenance options: We offer both on-premises and off-premises PBX, based on your business needs.
- Predictable monthly expenses: Subscription based pricing allows for all inclusive costs per endpoint, keeping monthly costs transparent and predictable.
- Sharing resources across sites: With UCaaS and IP Based systems, multiple sites can share resources, allowing for consolidated and lower monthly bills. Only paying for services needed.
- Bill consolidation: UCaaS and SIP Trunking allows for one carrier to provide multiple services that are not based on jurisdiction. Eliminating the need for multiple carrier bills and paying for services that are not being utilized.

Improved 911 Compliance
(Kari’s Law & RAY BAUM’s Act):
UCaaS Solutions & SIP Trunking can deliver
enhanced 911 (E911) services, including:
- Automatic location information per room/extension – E911 location information based on each DID.
- Direct 911 dialing without needing a prefix.
- Ability to notify appropriate on-site personnel if 911 is called from the building
Simplified Management:

- IP-based infrastructure
aligns with other technology upgrades and allows for seamless network integrations.
