Education

In recent months the issue of delivering reliable and effective messaging to students across a campus has never been more essential as part of the day-to-day management of a school infrastructure. With students potentially utilizing a mixture of hardware and technology including desktops, laptops and Mac systems, the ability to simply and quickly deliver messages direct to their devices provides a number of benefits to the faculty.

 

CrossTec VueAlert allows an administrator to deliver within seconds a clear and concise message and instruction to all connected computers across a campus. Each message can carry a priority level and a request for acknowledgement. The delivered message automatically takes screen focus on recipient computers and can be accompanied by an audible alert. In addition, all delivered messages are recorded in the system event log, registering both the time the message was delivered and acknowledged by the user.

 

CrossTec VueAlert provides an extra level of security within an education establishment or campus for both critical security alerts as well as routine student communication.

Corporate

Corporate communication increasingly relies on the ability to deliver notifications via email or existing telephony facilities when communicating with staff within an office building. CrossTec VueAlert provides a low-cost, high-speed notification system allowing messages and alerts to be delivered instantly to all computer users while removing the potential delays experienced with emails entering an already busy In Box.

 

For some organizations, CrossTec VueAlert also provides a welcome backup for existing technology failures, such as email, and an effective tool for delivering staff alerts and guidance, such as "the mail server will be off at 5pm" or "we are experiencing difficulties with our file server".

 

CrossTec VueAlert guarantees user attention by delivering an audible alert with each message received and taking foreground position on a user's desktop. With its notification gateway component, a single message can be delivered to staff across many sites or locations in a single action, again with full delivery/receipt logging.
