OPEN: Opportunity Name – KIPP NYC Schools Phone System

• KIPP NYC Schools is seeking bids for a PBX Solution, either cloud-based, hybrid, or on-prem to support hard phones, softphones, 911 calling, ext-to-ext dialing, and with the capacity to support as needed the integration of IP-based intercom/emergency paging/bell equipment at all of its remote sites. We are seeking to acquire the services of a qualified vendor who will design, procure, install, and provide ongoing support for an IP-based telecommunication and switching solution that will meet our functionality, scalability, reliability, and manageability requirements, and include a robust disaster recovery capability. All of our remote sites are interconnected through an existing ELAN/WAN. The phone system will tie into dedicated PRIs at each site as well as dedicated POTS lines for emergency backup in the event of PRI failure; IP-based is desired on the inside, with the preference being for endpoint devices that connect using CAT6 and can integrate well into Cisco route/switch environment
