Insights
Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) is one of the largest school districts in the United States, serving approximately 70,000 students across 143 schools. With its vast infrastructure and nearly 14,000 employees, the district faced significant challenges in maintaining security compliance and providing a seamless customer experience for stakeholders. The growing reliance on digital solutions and the need for timely, accurate responses to emergencies highlighted the need for modernization.
Brian Thompson, Director of Network Infrastructure at APS, was pivotal in driving the district's transformation through its partnership with Avaya. The key motivation for expanding the partnership came from the district’s need to comply with RAY BAUM’s Act, which requires accurate location information during emergency 911 calls. In addition, the district wanted to enhance customer experience, enabling new digital channels throughout their contact center infrastructure. Each of these needed to be achieved without disrupting the existing UC estate – with over 235 miles of fiber connecting sites.

With these solutions in place, APS is already beginning to realize key benefits:
APS is already looking ahead to future innovations. The district plans to expand the use of virtual agents and chat features within AXP to offer parents and staff even more communication options. As Thompson pointed out, "We want to open up more options for our community, and the analytics we’re getting from Avaya are helping us make informed decisions about where to go next."
With Avaya as a trusted partner, APS is well-positioned to continue enhancing both security and customer experience, ensuring that its vast network of schools and administrative sites is prepared for whatever challenges the future may hold.
