Challenges

  • Until 2015, Sigmund Freud University used a MidiStar telephone system to which a maximum of 60 extensions could be connected. In view of the university's steady growth, this was no longer sufficient, and a decision was made to implement a modern, future-proof telecommunications solution that could control a sufficient number of connections and was ready to support the university's current and future requirements.
