How to Create a Flexible Back-to-School Pandemic Plan
Thursday, September 17th - 10:00-10:30am
While some school districts have chosen virtual learning, others are reopening with precautions in place, and others are opting for a blended approach. Whatever the case may be, schools need to be able to communicate new guidelines, procedures and expectations to ensure success. Please join us for a webinar that will cover the following:
- Mass Notification for Remote Learning: Share critical updates, check on employees' well being, send updates via SMS, mobile app, desktop pop-ups and collaboration spaces.
- Mass Notification for In-Person Learning: Mitigate spread of disease by pre-screening students and staff prior to arrival, quickly communicate new policies, broadcast health and safety reminders throughout the day over on-premise infrastructure (speakers, desktop computers, digital signage), use mass notifications to share information about how the school is handling a positive COVID test.
- Plan for the Future: Design a robust safety and security platform for emergency management, active shooter events, natural disasters.

How to Improve Network Security and Fix Dropped Calls & Zoom Freeze
Thursday, September 24th - 10:00-10:30am
Traditional network architectures weren’t built to handle the workloads and complexities of most digital transformation initiatives. More troubling is that operations-critical services such as VoIP and Zoom can be compromised. Join us for this 30 minute webinar to learn about SD-WAN (software-defined WAN), a solution that sounds a lot more complex than it is. Here are give ways SD-WAN can help you:
- Improve performance by prioritizing critical internet traffic and real-time services like VoIP and Zoom and steer it over the most efficient route.
- Boost security with integrated security features like encryption and sandboxing that prevent data loss and downtime.
- Lower complexity and give your IT team a break by simplifying the WAN infrastructure.
- Enable cloud usage and allow workers to directly access cloud applications from anywhere without burdening the network with additional traffic.
- Reduce costs by leveraging low cost local internet access, providing direct cloud access and reducing the amount of traffic over the WAN.
