December 6, 2022
Elizabeth Kallay, Enterprise Sales Manager, VOSS Solutions
Digital transformation is affecting schools in similar ways to other enterprises and government organizations, and managing the myriad technology solutions required to allow educators to perform their job is challenging.
Here at VOSS, we empower educators to embrace digital business transformation to respond to the changes in the way their people work, learn, and consume educational services.
For example:
- Administering annual and on-going changes to educators moving classrooms and/or schools, including support for remote and hybrid working
- Managing the way students interact and collaborate with staff and peers, with the ability to quickly cater to evolving trends for students to maximize productivity
- Seamlessly integrating new best-of-breed technologies that speed and improve collaboration with existing business systems like directories, ticketing, or human resource systems
- Addressing end user experience to meet the expectation that changes to services are made in real-time, self-service is intuitive and helpful, and problem resolution is immediate

Extensive Integration
At the core, VOSS Automate is based on workflows associated with APIs, meaning you can connect to other software systems for increased automation:
- Integrate with your ticketing system (such as ServiceNow) to complete provisioning and management activities based on tickets being opened or updated
- Connect to human resource type systems to automatically provision or deprovision devices and services based on your typical inputs to the HR system – we call this “flow-through” or “zero-touch” provisioning
- Continue to use your existing processes but allow VOSS Automate to streamline many of these traditionally manual steps.
Unlock the Benefits
There are a host of benefits you can unlock with VOSS Automate for Education. Here, I highlight just a few:
- Automate the provisioning and ongoing management of voice and video endpoints – no technical experience necessary
- Improve provisioning speed and accuracy with proactive notification of any issues
- Unlock intuitive self-service for end users, reducing service desk calls
- Harness automation to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and lessen the burden on highly skilled technical staff
