With this announcement, we are able to offer the basic paging aspects of Singlewire’s well-known InformaCast offering at no cost to our CUCM customers.
Singlewire InformaCast is Cisco's choice for paging and emergency notification. InformaCast Basic Paging, live audio broadcasting, is built into several Cisco Unified Communications Manager platforms.
With the Conference Call feature from Singlewire, you can actually start a conference call with an InformaCast broadcast and bring your safety team together instantly.
Watch the video to learn how the Jabber IM Plugin for InformaCast can be used to send emergency notification to people in your organization that are running a Cisco Jabber client on their desktop or mobile devices.
InformaCast Virtual Appliance provides a lower cost of ownership to customers because a traditional Windows server license and maintenance costs are no longer necessary. It also allows users to deploy InformaCast more quickly.
Bells and paging are one of the most important things for schools... in my opinion, it’s still the most critical, and so choosing the right system and the right partner is very important. The Singlewire system has fit the bill for us.

… 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.

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.
