We Use It to Ensure that Urgent Messages Are Communicated Quickly and Clearly
“We have been using DeskAlerts for 5 years now and find the product excellent at communicating important information to our entire Trust quickly. It is so easy to use and maintain so provides a cost effective solution for “real time” messaging. Originally, used just by the IT team, the product is now in daily use by the Trust’s Communications team to ensure that urgent messages are communicated quickly and clearly to a large number of staff, thus helping to support the delivery of patient care to the highest standard.”

Tens of thousands of dollars preserved through faster IT alerts
“It's very important when we send a message about maintenance or downtime and that type of thing that people will read it, will acknowledge it, and that there will be no excuse like "I didn't see the email". DeskAlerts software is pretty simple to use and can be learned quickly. And it's natively easy.”

Alert verification: from 2–3 hours with 4–5 people to 1 hour
“We have several information systems, where from time to time we need to perform some maintenance tasks. Before DeskAlerts we needed 2- 3 hours to check that everybody has been informed about maintenance (emails, calling, ...) and this involved 4-5 persons. Next usage is informing employees about special situations, related to specific building, area, ... . Before we had to send 2-3 persons to walk through offices and share information to everybody, now we simply inform them by using DeskAlerts (easy 1 hour is lost). With DeskAlerts we can very fast react and prevent possible contamination of product. This can sometimes mean saving several 1000 €.”
