Manchester Grammar School - Communications Modernisation
In June 2024, Manchester Grammar School launched a £60K project to modernise its communications platform, replacing an ageing on-premises Mitel system. NG Bailey IT Services transitioned 160 users to a cloud-hosted Gamma Horizon Webex solution, ensuring staff had a reliable, modern system ahead of key events such as open days and new student registration.

Time-Critical Deployment - Ensuring the new platform was fully operational ahead of major school events
Transition from Legacy Hardware - Managing the move from an ageing on-premises Mitel system to a modern cloud-based solution.
Solutions we delivered

User & Number Migration - Seamless transition of 160 users from the legacy Mitel system, including numbering and call routing
