Richmond Hill, Ontario (PRWEB) April 2, 2009 -- eOn Communications Corporation™ (NASDAQ: EONC), a leading provider of telecommunications solutions, and Esna Technologies Inc. (http://www.esnatech.com) today announced that they will be rolling out a new unified communications platform targeted at the education industry. This new unified platform will include a variety of applications focused on the automation and optimization of core processes within the education space. These include Mass Notification, Absenteeism, Speech-enabled Teacher Locator, Presence-enabled School Listings, Homework Hotline, and Unified Messaging for staff and administration.

Built upon the new eNterprise IP Messenger unified communications platform from eOn Communications (http://www.eoncommunications.com), the new vertically enabled solution suite will help schools, and school boards deliver rich collaboration services to both staff and parents while at the same time save a tremendous amount of cost by investing in a unified platform with a much smaller foot print to manage and maintain.

The new eNterprise IP Messenger application suite is a SIP-based application optimized around eOn's communication systems but can be integrated to any existing telephony infrastructure an educational facility or organization may already have in place.

Features such as the automated dialer service that calls home to report student absences with the school's existing telephony system is part of the basic platform and will leverage existing high capacity PRI lines for outgoing calls. The ability to create call lists can be extended beyond the system administrator to allow teachers and teacher assistants to record their own outgoing messages based upon class rosters for parents to receive. It can also connect a student management system with the messaging system to create a dynamic phone and mail list for notifications.

School staff members can easily broadcast messages out to the community, as well as allowing the community to communicate their feedback. Most districts do not provide a phone in every classroom, but they do provide a computer. By leveraging a Unified Communications account for all clients on the eNterprise IP Messenger, everyone can have an extension. Therefore a parent can call any teacher and leave a message that they can retrieve from their classroom computer, any school phone, their home computer, any phone in the world, or any Internet-connected device.

"We are very excited about this new Educational platform! The Esnatech-eOn partnership will allow us to jointly focus on a growing vertical segment and deliver the industry's most complete communication application focus on the education market requirements.", David Petramala, Vice President, Business Development, Esnatech. "We will be able to provide a complete portfolio of messaging, call processing, and mass notification services on one consolidated solution that meets both the feature requirements and price points educational institutions will require."

"Integrating voice mail, unified messaging, School outreach, Mass alert, & rich presence into a single consolidates solution offers tremendous value to our Educational customers and simplifies both the management and deployment of this must have technology," Jack Dienno, V.P. of Channel Sales, eOn Communications.

The new eNterprise IP Messenger platform for the educational sector will be available April 2009 through authorized eOn Channel Partners across North America. It will be a specialized package that will include Mass Notification and Homework Hotline as part of the centralized messaging and call processing platform.
