Improve Communication with Desktop Notifications

Desktop alerting is easy to use, fast to deploy, and offers flexible options for organizations that need to reach many people over a large area or multiple locations.

Emergency Notification

Desktop alerts are a powerful tool for emergency notification. Full-screen alerts are intrusive, guaranteeing they will get the computer user’s attention. Alertus Desktop can also utilize the computer’s text-to-speech capabilities to ensure your alerts are heard and not just seen.

Use partial screen pop up alerts to communicate important information to your audience.

Internal communication

Desktop alerting software is also helpful for routine communication or non-emergency notification. Use a partial screen pop-up or the ticker mode to send important messages that you don’t want to get lost in inboxes or easily ignored. Alertus offers user-profiles and templates to make internal communication easy and accessible.
