IT is working with Broadview/Windstream on instituting a phone pilot for a new phone system. Plans are in the works to begin a 60-day pilot with various individuals from the Town and Schools. Our current Siemens system requires an extensive/expensive upgrade to avoid becoming unsupported. The Town and Schools are evaluating the costs and benefits of doing the upgrade or replacing with a new phone system that would be hosted offsite. Our current telecom provider, Windstream, proposed a hosted solution that will increase our telecommunication capabilities while enhancing services and reducing overall telecommunication costs to the town.
