Alexandria Technical & Community College is proud to be recognized by CDW in a recent case study detailing our innovative partnership in modernizing campus communications. With the expertise and dedication of our IT department, led by voice administrator and IT security specialist Joni Leuthardt, the college successfully transitioned to Cisco Webex Calling in the summer of 2024.

CDW is a leading multi-brand provider of information technology solutions to business, government, education, and healthcare customers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

The cloud-based phone system enhances communication across campus by enabling staff and instructors to make and receive calls from any internet-connected device. The integration with Cisco’s videoconferencing and messaging tools further strengthens collaboration among faculty, students, and support teams.

Joni and the IT team were crucial in ensuring a seamless transition, carefully evaluating solutions, working closely with CDW’s higher education team, and implementing a system that meets the college’s needs. This recognition by CDW highlights the IT team’s dedication to optimizing cost, efficiency, and security, and reinforces the college’s commitment to embracing cutting-edge technology to enhance education and operational excellence.

Alexandria College is grateful for Joni and the entire IT department and their outstanding work in bringing this project to life. Their efforts have not only transformed our communication systems but have also elevated the way we connect, collaborate, and thrive together on campus. By enhancing the entire communication experience, they’ve laid the foundation for a more dynamic, connected, and forward-thinking community.
