Do you know where your child is right now? Cisco can probably tell you. Together with SchoolMessenger, which describes itself as a leading U.S. parental notification company, announced Monday that more than 50 school districts across the country have adopted the SchoolMessenger-Cisco integrated parental notification service.
According to SchoolMessenger:
SchoolMessenger for Cisco Unified Communications, which was introduced last summer, now includes SMS text messaging to supplement voice and e-mail notification to reach a large audience using a range of devices.
Reports show that when notification solutions are used in schools, parents report improved peace of mind, and truancy rates decrease by up to 13 percent. In addition, by managing a single, centralized solution, and using its existing telecom investment, districts report that the solution pays for itself in less than two years when compared with annual subscription-based notification services.
