Project 525: Zoom Phone System Replacement

The Office of OneIT is excited to announce that we will switch from Cisco phones to Zoom Phone on December 19, 2023.

Zoom phones will provide many advantages over our current system, including Ease of use, Enhanced features, Seamless integration, Flexibility, Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity, and so much more!
