Birmingham, AL - Ambit Solutions has installed Digium's Asterisk Voice over IP platform in 12% of Alabama's school systems.  The average annual savings per school system is now at $32,000!  That is year-over-year, not one time.  We have customers that are saving over $100,000 per year.  The larger the school system, the larger the annual savings.  In addition to savings, communications at the schools systems are greatly simplified reducing annual support and maintenance of paging and bell systems.

So exactly how does Ambit save a school system so much money?  It is simple.  Today, a typical school system has a telephone system at each facility.  Or worse, they use Centrex lines from the telephone company at each facility.  Ambit collapses all these systems into one unified Asterisk platform.

Asterisk is perfectly suited for the Education market.  It provides a very reliable communications platform at a fraction of the cost of commercial systems.  Plus, it can envelope disparate systems like paging/intercom and bells into one system.  A school system no longer needs three different wiring systems and three different vendors.  Everything is consolidated and runs at the tip of your fingers - your VoIP handset or softphone.
