CrisisAlert Badge and Singlewire's Informacast Platform Help Districts Improve Emergency Response, Notification, and Management

CrisisAlert badge and Singlewire's InformaCast® platform enable districts to respond better to, notify, and manage emergency occurrences using current investments.

FREMONT, CA: "The strong alignment between our CrisisAlert technology and Singlewire Software's InformaCast platform makes this partnership ideal for providing schools with reliable notification systems through every available communication method to ensure staff and students are immediately notified of an emergency," says Brent Cobb, CEO of CENTEGIX. CENTEGIX, the pioneer in crisis response solutions, and Singlewire Software, the leader in mass notification technology development, have entered into a strategic agreement to integrate Singlewire Software's award-winning InformaCast® system with CENTEGIX's CrisisAlert system. The alliance increases the CrisisAlert system's mass communication capabilities to improve school safety and emergency response. Districts can send notifications to all InformaCast-connected devices to maximize emergency response.

"By joining forces, we have the ability to help schools turn their safety plans into action by creating efficient and effective responses to any crisis scenario," adds Cobb.

InformaCast is a robust mass notification and critical event management software that contacts individuals via on-premises and mobile devices in the case of an emergency, hence facilitating the efficient administration of crisis situations. Using Informacast, CrisisAlert platform messages can be sent to all devices the district has integrated with InformaCast. This includes campus-wide audio and video notifications, which are vital in emergencies since they may notify workers of any threat on campus instantly and discreetly, along with directions for the next steps. This increases the likelihood that instructors, faculty, and staff will receive an alert from every available device, reducing the effect of an occurrence.

This alliance brings together breakthrough technology crucial to building a safety culture that supports a focus on education.

The unique, award-winning CrisisAlert system from CENTEGIX offers teachers and employees the quickest and simplest way to request assistance in any emergency, from the daily to the severe. The wearable, lightweight badge with a single, recessed panic button provides all school personnel with an immediate, discrete, and simple means to request assistance from anywhere on campus without needing an app or smartphone. CrisisAlert requires no modifications to a school's architectural structures or electrical cabling, and it interacts smoothly with the institution's existing systems. CrisisAlert is unparalleled in its capacity to give an accurate alert location, immediate audio and video crisis notifications for school-wide incidents, complete campus coverage, and 100 percent user adoption–built on a private network and independent of Wi-Fi and cellular.

"School safety challenges continue to evolve and we are always looking for ways to provide powerful and effective solutions that keep teachers and students safe," says Paul Shain, president, and CEO of Singlewire Software. "With Centegix CrisisAlert badges tied to our InformaCast software, school staff can request assistance the moment they need it and alert the right people who will be able to assist."
