As our current telephone system approaches the end of its life, we are transitioning to a more modern and flexible option: Zoom Phone.

Key Benefits Include:

  • Unified Communications:ÌýStreamline how we connect by integrating voice calls, video calls, and messaging on a single platform. This integration enhances collaboration across campus.

  • Increased Mobility and Flexibility:ÌýMake and receive calls using your JCU phone number from anywhere, whether you're at home, in the office, or on the move.

  • Scalability:ÌýEasily adjust telecommunication resources to meet changing needs without the physical limitations of traditional phone systems.

  • Integration with Tools You Use:ÌýZoom works effortlessly with Canvas, Google, and other tools you use daily, making it a versatile choice for everyone.

Transition Plan:

  • Phased Migration:ÌýWe will migrate to Zoom Phone in stages throughout the summer. Each department/building will receive a specific timeline and detailed instructions to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

  • Supporting Sustainability:ÌýBy moving away from physical phones, we significantly reduce electronic waste and contribute to a greener campus environment.ÌýIf you still require a physical handset or a headset,ÌýÌýby May 18th and one will be installed over the summer.

  • Additional information, including training options, will be communicated as the project proceeds.
