State of K-12 Critical Communications Report Now Available
Collaboration Platforms
When a collaboration platform is connected to InformaCast, the critical communication platform from Singlewire Software, alerts reach people in chat and on phones, computers, overhead speakers, digital signs, strobes, and other devices at the same time. With the InformaCast mobile app, urgent alerts still come through on smartphones set to Do Not Disturb.
Collaboration platforms bring staff together through chat, calls, and meetings. But a message stays on the platform. It can’t play over speakers, show on digital signs, or flash strobes, and it won’t come through when people have Do Not Disturb on for meetings or after hours. In an emergency, anyone who isn’t looking at the app can miss it. InformaCast from Singlewire Software turns the collaboration platform your staff already uses into a vital part of your safety plan.
InformaCast sends alerts to your collaboration platform and other devices at the same time
When an alert starts from an InformaCast Wearable Alert Badge, Visitor Aware, a panic button, a sensor, or another connected system, InformaCast sends it to your collaboration platform, where many people spend their day.
At the same moment, InformaCast sends it to phones, computers, overhead speakers, digital signs, strobes, and other devices. With the InformaCast mobile app, urgent alerts still come through on smartphones set to Do Not Disturb, so people are reached even when they’ve silenced notifications.
Staff can start an InformaCast alert from chat and coordinate the response there
Depending on your platform, a staff member can send an alert right from chat, sharing the location and what’s happening, or place a call from the platform to make a live page. InformaCast sends it everywhere else at the same time. The people who need to act can then gather in a group chat, see how others have responded to the alert, and send follow-up messages until the situation is resolved.
Weather and outage notices through InformaCast get people used to seeing alerts in chat
Your collaboration platform and InformaCast work together on ordinary days, too. A weather update or a system outage notice can reach the right chats and devices in one step. Because people already see these messages where they work, an urgent one never feels unfamiliar.
Collaboration platforms keep staff talking. Integrated with InformaCast, an alert reaches people on the platform and everywhere else.
