Security
Our knowledge of the UK's National Education Network is extensive.
We understand the need for security policies that protect pupils,
and the potential vulnerabilities that videoconferencing might
introduce. Schools, authorities, RBC's and agencies are constantly
working together to produce a consistent, functional and secure IP
network across the various management domains and the addition of
videoconferencing must not undermine this. We can offer
complimentary visual solutions, advice and experience to ensure
security is not compromised whilst ensuring quality and ease of
access.
Scalability
When building services at an authority-wide level, the need for
scalability is paramount. Direct Visual selects solutions that
scale to meet both current and future requirements to ensure
minimal future investment. Then, should you choose to grow your
Video network with more endpoints or to incorporate other Unified
Communication technologies e.g. - OCS, Cisco UPC, Lync or even your
VLE platform you will be ready to do so.
Unified Communications
Visual Communications is no longer seen as an isolated technology.
“The videoconferencing box in the classroom” concept is dated and
very restrictive. We can help Local Authorities build and adopt a
true unified communication platform, allowing communication with
anyone, anywhere, anytime to enhance the teaching and learning
experience. Whether this be through integration into Microsoft Lync
/OCS, Cisco Call Manager or other UC vendors, Direct Visual has
huge experience in ensuring seamless integration.
Community Connection
Local Authorities can realise huge benefits from their
interconnection to the greater UK education and research community
via JANET, the national network for education. Through JANET,
Authorities can connect its schools to a huge community of learning
resources, such as Museums, Educational Charities (such as the Eden
Project and the National Space Centre) and other learning
institutions.
