As well as sending text format alerts, you can also send alerts in video format, send emergency crisis notifications or send an RSVP to employees to confirm their attendance at an upcoming event.

A desktop ticker tape is a band of text that scrolls across a computer screen, usually placed towards the bottom, much like the ticker tape on screen that you see on news and current affairs TV channels (sometimes called news tickers). The text contains important information delivered in the form of headlines that can also be hyperlinked to further information if necessary.

A POWERFUL YET UNINTRUSIVE WAY OF BROADCASTING INFORMATION

Desktop ticker tape occupies less than 4% of available screen space and does not interfere with other full screen applications - allowing users to carry on with their tasks, paying as much attention to the scrolling headlines as they can afford.Employees who are busy can simply scan the messages sent to the news ticker software to absorb the content in a way that doesn’t interrupt their work.

EFFECTIVE FOR DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES

The desktop news ticker can be used by different departments to send IT updates, company news, article follow-ups, links to documents and intranet pages.

Our desktop ticker software is available for both Windows and Mac operating systems, as well as an application installed on mobile devices (but will appear as a push notification)

EASY TO SEND AND TO MEASURE

You have complete control over who you send specific news headlines to and when you can send them – everything can be automated or scheduled, or you can push scrolling headlines out quickly when you have urgent breaking news, creating a live news ticker.

With delivery and read statistics, you can measure the impact, engagement levels and improve performance.

Easy To Use And Deploy

The Practical Choice for A Communication Channel

How to use DeskAlerts on mobile phones

Your employees can download our mobile alert app from either the Google Play or Apple app stores and install it on their tablet or smartphone. So long as they are connected to the internet, the app will push notifications to their devices and keep them up-to-date with your important corporate news, no matter where they are or what they are doing.

The notification system app works differently to SMS notifications where the user requires a mobile phone connection only.

How does the DeskAlerts software send messages to applications?

An administrator is able to create messages in the DeskAlerts user dashboard which is available from a special address on your company’s Internet or Intranet site. When creating messages, they have the option of selecting to deliver to employees via push notification which will send to devices with the app installed. Alerts can be simultaneously sent to employees’ desktop computers.

The push notifications can be used to display text, pictures, and even video.

DeskAlerts has developed mobile communication applications that let you stay connected to your staff and keep them up-to-date with what’s going on in your company by pushing your DeskAlerts notifications straight to their devices.

Using our standard notification system app for mobile devices your employees can receive common push notifications or emergency alerts, polls, quizzes, surveys, video messages, internal newsletters, event RSVPs and more.

Using our One Click app for Emergency you can send special emergency alerts which will be then sent to your employees either they are in the field of work or not and also getting delivery reports during the process.

• Use powerful formats - image, video, HTML, Power Point
• Easy to use - even for non-IT experts

A corporate screen saver is a prominent internal communications tool that delivers eye-catching content and targeted imagery to employees’ computer screens. Idle screens are effectively turned into electronic billboards that ensure employees are aware of key corporate messages as part of creative internal marketing campaigns.

Corporate screensavers are a perfect solution when you need to deliver corporate messages to employees without unnecessarily disrupting them.

Screensavers appear when screens are idle – which is why they are so powerful. When staff return from breaks or meetings, jump on a phone call or anything else that takes them away from their desktops for a while, a visually engaging corporate message will appear on screen that captures their attention.

Repeatedly occurring in the form of image, video, animation, HTML or Power Point slides, this information will be seen and recalled by the employees you send it to, with no effort on their part.

Create, customize, schedule, and rotate business screensavers from one location with DeskAlerts software without the need to involve IT staff.

Staff from different departments can be given access so they can launch screensavers based on the information they need to send to employees.

Target screensavers to be displayed on all employees’ screens or send them to specific groups or even one person. Launch several messages at once or schedule them to appear at a certain date and time.

• Maximum visibility for your message
• Up to 4 content pieces at once
• Easily change, schedule and rotate content

Digital signage is images and/or text that is displayed on digital screens enabling content to be displayed in a colourful, moving, captivating format. By using digital sign software to manage this content you can turn virtually any screen in your organization into an electronic billboard.

If your employees are non-desk workers, this can be one of the only ways to get their attention.

You can also use digital signage to communicate with customers and visitors - different messages can be sent to different screens at the same time.

Use different content formats to attract and keep employees’ attention: text, images, video, presentations, HTML, schedules and timetables etc.

Design your message in the intuitive DeskAlerts Control Panel, or use our templates.

You don’t need to download electronic signage software to all corporate devices.

Next determine the target audience for your content (for example, by geographical position, individual or groups of screens) and then schedule it to appear when you need it to.

Advantages Of Using The Video Contents

Video is one of the most effective internal communication tools – when a message contains video, the viewers are stimulated through sight and sound. That's why YouTube is so popular and has so many viewers and users!

DeskAlerts Video Alert Tool helps by enabling the managers to keep in touch with the remote employees as you can use the tool to send them visual messages and it will reach them wherever they are regardless of what device they are using. This tool has the capability to send video to different devices including cell phones, desktops and others.

When you include the dynamic nature of video in your corporate communications, you will improve the engagement of your employees.  

It also keeps the staff in check thus increasing their participation and attendance.

The video alert module also helps in retaining messages hence allowing an employee to refer to it later. This allows for deep understanding of the message sent.

This feature will allow you to schedule the message to be sent in advance so that you can send the information at once hence saving you some time that you could have used to craft the message from scratch.

This tool can also allow you to send specific or chosen videos to the custom audiences. This is something you don’t always find on other software.

How The Video Alert Tool Helps In An Organizational Set Up

It is quite unfortunate that a few companies still use the traditional methods of passing information to the employees. These might include the newsletters, intranet sites, and emails. This is what a lot of organizations are used to.

Anyway, with the introduction of this tool, you will be able to notice some major changes in how you operate. Using it results in a high level of interaction by allowing the managers to send various videos in different formats to the employees' devices.

As said earlier, using videos when sending information can have a positive impact on employee engagement and the internal communication in general. Using this implementation allows for fast interaction thus making it quite effective.

It also helps in ensuring that all the employees are informed. Generally, this application can help transform your organization by providing a safe platform to communicate within the organization.
