Singlewire: Centralized Network Notifications for Emergencies

A stable emergency notification system has always been an important aspect for organizations in order to provide an efficient notification process connecting multiple locations. Enterprises across several industries face difficulties in notifying their workforce during emergencies. For instance, Kentucky Community and Technical College System’s (KCTCS) unstable notification system often failed in informing its students in case of a natural disaster or any other emergency situation. After implementing the Singlewire InformaCast Solution as part of its Statewide Emergency Notification System, KCTCS could quickly reach out to both on and off campus students. Headquartered in Madison, WI, Singlewire aims at enhancing voice application systems to deliver fast, secure, and reliable mass notification capabilities. “Our customers often face difficulty in sending notification to groups in case of events triggered by remote sensors within their organization,” says Paul Shain, CEO, Singlewire. By leveraging Singlewire’s solutions, companies can instantly contact employees across their organization through IP phones and speakers, legacy paging systems, desktops, text messages, and emails to notify about any adversity.

Singlewire has successfully served several industries like education, healthcare, and communications, with its innovative multi-channel notification system. Singlewire’s flagship product, InformaCast helps customers transform Cisco phones, overhead speakers, and other devices into a much powerful IP paging and emergency notification system, enabling organizations to provide rapid texts and audio notifications to a variety of endpoints. “Being a developer of network-centric notification software, Singlewire has successfully developed several applications InformaCast, PushToTalk, InformaCast Basic Paging, InformaCast Advanced Notification, and InformaCast Mobile—for Cisco IP Phones,” states Shain.

The InformaCast network-based emergency notification, and IP phone paging system enables users to send messages to unlimited number of desktops, overhead paging systems, Cisco IP phones, digital signage, social media sites and more. On the other hand, the InformaCast’s Mobile—a stand-alone cloud-based broadcast mobile solution—and InformaCast Advanced Notification allows organization to send and receive notifications via their iOS or Android mobile devices.
