We welcome Cisco SLED Account Manager Jeremy Stephens to the show!

This episode focuses on MGIG and its application to the public sector.

Cisco uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) for infrastructure upgrades, and it is important to consider MGIG technology for future strategies and advancements and the advantages for public sector organizations in adopting it.

We discuss migrating from on-premise phone systems to cloud-based ones like Webex Calling.

The advantages of the migration included reduced administration time, elimination of downtime for maintenance and patching, and ease of access and administration.

The shift to cloud-based systems allowed for more forward-thinking and expansion within the organization and greater collaboration with external vendors.

The speaker discusses the cost advantages of using Webex calling and the potential savings for schools over three years.

The migration to Webex calling has made it easier for schools to have control over their phone numbers and lines, resulting in cost savings and improved efficiency.

The speaker highlights the benefits of Webex calling in creating virtual classrooms and expanding student learning opportunities.

Porting numbers has become more accessible and accurate, allowing focus on higher-level tasks.

Technology advancements, such as smart lights connected to mobile apps, have made tasks more efficient and enjoyable.

Universities should consider steps to improve the lives of staff and graduates through technology decisions.

Webex calling has helped grow the Department of Labor and employment services by simplifying communication and migration processes.
