01
Absorb enrolment and results peaks
Plan for known surges with flexible routing, callbacks, announcements and temporary capacity, so families and students are not met with busy tones at the moments that matter most.
Education
Built for the weeks when everyone calls at once
Education runs on cycles. Enrolment, results, offers and term start create predictable surges that overwhelm ordinary phone systems, alongside a duty of care that makes some calls far more important than others.
Our approach
Cyclical demand, distributed sites, duty of care
A school, a multi-campus university and a national training provider have very different needs, but they share three things: sharp seasonal peaks, staff spread across sites, and safeguarding obligations that require certain contacts to reach the right person immediately.
Safeguarding and student privacy
Contacts involving minors and student wellbeing need particular care in routing, recording and access control. We will work with your child-safe and privacy policies to make sure the technology supports them, and flag anywhere a configuration would sit awkwardly against them.
Who we work with
Across the sector we support:
- Independent and faith-based schools
- School groups and dioceses
- Universities and multi-campus institutions

- IT and digital service desks
- Alumni and advancement teams
Key use cases
What we help education organisations do
02
Handle student wellbeing contacts appropriately
Give safeguarding, wellbeing and incident calls priority routing and a defined escalation path to named staff, rather than leaving them in a general queue.
03
Answer routine questions automatically
Use voice and digital self-service for term dates, fees, timetables, enrolment steps and campus information, transferring to a person with context retained when the question is not routine.
04
Connect campuses, classrooms and staff
Deliver Microsoft Teams calling with Telstra Operator Connect across campuses, plus DECT coverage, and SIP integration with existing bell, intercom and gate systems.
05
Support the service desk
Apply contact centre routing, knowledge and reporting to IT and facilities service desks, so staff and student requests are tracked rather than lost in inboxes.
06
Integrate with student systems
Present the relevant student, applicant or family record at first contact by connecting to student management and CRM platforms including Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Salesforce — subject to available APIs.
