Unified Communication Platforms in Higher Education
By Linda Seid Frembes

Higher education administrators and staff members face an enormous challenge of trying to effectively communicate to a transient group of people on campus. Some students live on campus during the school year while other students live elsewhere and only come to campus to attend classes. Staff members may rotate campuses and not have a permanent home base. “There is a difficulty to communicate uniformly in the higher-education environment,” says Jennifer Fryc, communications consultant for higher education for Visix in Norcross, Ga. “Some schools have campus-wide systems while others schools handle communication and technology within each department.”

Visix has gained traction over the past several years because its technology is a good fit for the higher education market. The company’s web-based AxisTV digital-signage platform has added capability like content management, room signage, and room scheduling. The system has three main components: the software interface, a content-manager server, and one or more channel players for video distribution. Currently, over 400 universities have deployed their solutions. more>>

Save your customers time and money with a DLP filter-free projector
DLP projectors have sealed optics enabling a filter-free design, which equals lower maintenance costs.
