InformaCast played a key role in notifying our campus about the water main break and the need to use bottled water. I was able to quickly record a message and send it to the campus from my office at home. Our students commented how effective this was in letting them know what was going on.

… InformaCast is really the glue for our notification - it can pull in email, our phone system, our speaker system, our visible security system, locks, and make it all work together.
