916 Schools currently employs SVOIP for VoIP phone services, which has been unable to meet our standards for quality of service and reliability. After careful consideration, it has been determined that transitioning to DTS for VoIP services will significantly enhance our communications infrastructure. DTS offers on-site support and technicians, a fully staffed local support team, and a robust back-end infrastructure which is more capable of handling our call volumes. This transition involves a one-time setup cost and an annual service fee, and represents a roughly 20% increase over our current yearly costs.
