A few words from Groupcall's Co-founding partner, Sir Bob Geldof
“There could hardly be anything more exciting, contemporary or worthwhile than to be a part of Groupcall, the company which has just been awarded the ICT Company of the Year. We are at the very edge of what is technologically possible for the benefit of society and the country as a whole.
We are Company of the Year because our technologies have been proven to benefit thousands of schools and their administration and helped teachers concentrate on that which they are best qualified to do - educate our future generations. All this world beating stuff is taking place not in the United States or Silicon Valley but in modest North London! Britain can and does produce clever world beaters and I am very proud to be part of that with Groupcall. An extraordinary company and a justifiable ICT Company of the Year.”

Groupcall and Schoolcomms announce Emerge partnership
Groupcall and Schoolcomms are pleased to announce a partnership to provide integration between Groupcall’s Emerge and Schoolcomms’ messaging solution. As Emerge now integrates with both Messenger and Schoolcomms, this will enable schools to take registration in the gym or on the field, communicate with parents or guardians whilst on a school trip, or send an emergency message from the playground where a school evacuation is necessary – perhaps due to a fire alarm being activated. Parents or guardians can also receive behavioural, attendance or general communication updates from schools in ‘real time’ by text message, as issues or questions arise. Read the full article here.
Groupcall Emerge is now available for Android!
Lawrence Royston, MD of Groupcall, explains why the new integration was a natural progression: “The streamlining of efficiencies is a priority for us; we are constantly improving our products to benefit the end user from either a functional or financial aspect. We have made a commitment to ensure that an Android version of Emerge will continue to be made available with all new features as it develops.”
