Faith-Filled Explorations: Internet and Phone Solutions with Cross Connections


Cross Connections: Navigating Internet & Phone Solutions with Clarity and Confidence

Choosing the right Internet and phone system can feel overwhelming for schools and congregations, especially with the growing number of options like VoIP phone systems and AI-powered tools. Cross Connections simplifies the process by clearly explaining available solutions and matching them to your organization’s needs.
In this session, Andrew Ohlsson, owner of Cross Connections, will share practical insights gained from nearly three decades in the telecom industry. He will demonstrate how organizations can save money, improve communication, and strengthen safety while avoiding confusion and unnecessary expenses. Participants will walk away better equipped to make confident decisions that benefit both their staff and their communities.

Andrew Ohlsson is the owner of Cross Connections and has worked in the telecom industry since 1997. With nearly 30 years of experience, Andrew brings a unique perspective that helps his clients not only find the best solutions but also save money and successfully navigate challenges. He has served a wide range of clients, from schools and churches—including Milwaukee Public Schools and Heritage Christian Schools—to a 34-location bank and a global organization.
Andrew specializes in guiding organizations through Internet and phone system options, explaining the benefits of solutions such as VoIP and AI in simple, practical terms. He combines his deep industry knowledge with empathy, Christian values, and a commitment to integrity to ensure clients feel supported and well-informed in every decision.
