3Com NBX 100 System Slashes 40% Off Call Costs and Eliminates Line Rental and PABX Maintenance Charges for Notre-Dame/Saint-Sigisbert School

Overview Notre-Dame/Saint-Sigisbert was formed by the amalgamation of two schools in the 1990s, which were at different locations. As far as communications were concerned, having a number of discrete sites was unwieldy and expensive. The root of the problem was the school's legacy PABX system. The school decided to consider IP telephony as an alternative to a new PABX solution, providing that the IP telephony solution met certain criteria. To solve this, the school chose 3Com NBX 100 Communications System. After this, the school has reported greater overall savings and a faster ROI than it had anticipated. The school has cut annual phone bills by over 40 percent, reduced line and maintenance charges, and improved the quality and range of services available to users.
