Campuswide VOIP plan
Description
CSUSM uses a 20 year old Pointspan telephone system that is now officially in an obsolete and unsupported status with the original manufacturer. CSUSM has vendors that will support the system as the campus moves to replace the existing system over several years. The current plan is to implement a hybrid approach with a combination of on-premise phones and “cloud” hosted telephone services.
