Summary
Frequent IT outages made it difficult for Hôpital du Valais to keep staff and customers informed. The hospital adopted DeskAlerts to deliver instant ticker tape alerts during incidents. This ensured critical information reached the right people quickly, even when email and phone systems were down, boosting response times and maintaining smooth operations.

Challenge
The hospital needed a way to deliver targeted notifications to employees and a backup channel of communication in the event of email and phone systems being down.

Thanks to DeskAlerts, all employees have the right information at the right time. This is an easy-to-use and cost-effective alerting tool.
