Summary
Broadcast emails and intranet updates weren’t cutting it for CSSS de la Pointe-de-l’Île. So they adopted DeskAlerts to send targeted, multilingual messages to specific employee groups without disrupting others. With DeskAlerts, the company streamlined internal communication, improved efficiency, and made it easy to reach the right people at the right time.

Challenge
CSSS de la Pointe-de-l’Île was looking for a solution with a user-friendly interface to send information to specific audiences without interrupting other employees’ work processes with unnecessary messages. They needed a more efficient way to notify employees than sending broadcast emails or changing the front page of their intranet.

Only the people who are affected see the messages; we are not disturbing anyone!

Head of Communications
Solution
DeskAlerts was selected as a tool to communicate with specific audiences while not disturbing unaffected people.

We use templates, so the look and feel of the messages is always the same. Our employees got used to it quickly.
Active Directory synchronization was one of the most useful features—they could use the group hierarchy already in place in AD.
It was easy to translate the interface to French and create predefined messages in different languages.

- Ability to limit the message lifetime
- Message templates
