GEMS InfoLine is a hosted information line that provides a
cost-effective, reliable & consistent method for staff, parents
& faculty to access important information. With

& services and your existing phone system will not be
overwhelmed by a sudden influx of calls since it is a
hosted service.
Messages can be updated in real-time from any phone
and different groups within your target audience can
hear messages that apply specifically to them.
