“I was very impressed with Clarions’ knowledge, speed of service and company culture”
PREVIOUS Challenges
Webcam-only meetings were unreliable during lockdown – dropouts, poor sound and a disjointed experience. A new, high-end IP conferencing install looked costly and slow, requiring engineering and phone-system changes. The school needed a fast, low-cost, sustainable alternative that worked with Teams/Zoom.
“Very happy to recommend Clarion whole heartedly”
