About Loughborough Schools Foundation

Loughborough Schools Foundation is a prestigious educational institution comprising four schools located on a sprawling, multi-building campus. With over 2,000 students and a strong commitment to providing a safe, efficient, and enriching learning environment, the Foundation consistently seeks innovative solutions to enhance its operations. Recognizing the critical role of communication in ensuring student safety and effective management, the Foundation embarked on a transformative journey to upgrade its telecommunication systems. Guided by a forward-thinking IT team, the Foundation aimed to replace its outdated dual-system setup with a modern, unified platform capable of meeting current demands and supporting future growth.

The Challenge

Replace two outdated phone systems with a single, unified platform capable of enhancing student safety through advanced features like lockdown capabilities, campus-wide messaging, and seamless communication.

The Solution

Evoke Telecom implemented an Avaya IP Office platform within the Foundation’s virtualized environment, equipping 600 handsets across classrooms and offices. The system delivers robust communication, safety enhancements, and operational efficiency while laying the groundwork for future advancements with Avaya Smart Campus.
