Alfonica, the B2B division of Rose Communications Group Ltd, a leading provider of advanced telecom solutions for businesses and consumers, has announced a strategic partnership with Wonde, a leading provider of cloud-based school data management that connects educators and pupils with learning applications and classroom tools in a simple and secure way.
The partnership aims to break barriers in school communication by integrating Alfonica’s advanced bulk messaging platform with Wonde’s secure data synchronisation technology, providing educational institutions with an all-inclusive, efficient, and secure communication solution. Alfonica leverages the growing trend of WhatsApp usage, which has seen a 51% increase in the past 5 years. The collaboration will prioritise parent-staff engagement, data security, and direct messaging.
The telecoms company’s advanced text messaging capabilities include seamless WhatsApp integration, automated communication with school management systems, and a GDPR-compliant messaging platform designed to ensure secure and efficient information sharing.
Ben Sinclair, Head of Datasync at Wonde, said: “At Wonde, we believe in the power of technology to simplify and enhance education. Our partnership with Alfonica represents an exciting opportunity to empower schools with seamless communication solutions backed by secure, reliable data integration. Together, we’re ensuring that teachers, parents, and students stay connected.”
Maxi Rose, CEO of Rose Communications Group, added: “Delivering effective school communication is not just about sending messages; it’s about delivering them at the right time, through the right channels, and in the most secure way possible. This partnership with Alfonica brings transformative value to schools, enabling them to tap into the power of advanced telecom solutions. We’re ensuring that schools can engage with their communities more effectively, while safeguarding the integrity of sensitive information.”
Alfonica also brings a wide range suite of telecom solutions to education, offering high-speed connectivity and hosted telephony services that revolutionise how schools encrypt and exchange confidential information with parents, staff, and students.
The partnership benefits are far-reaching as schools will position themselves at the forefront of educational innovation, ultimately leading to improved student outcomes and more collaborative and supportive learning environments.
