CENTEGIX, a provider of incident response solutions and Singlewire Software, a mass notification technology developer, have announced a strategic partnership to enhance school and campus safety.
According to the companies, CENTEGIX’s CrisisAlert system will be extended through Singlewire Software’s InformaCast system.
CrisisAlert is a wearable, lightweight badge with a single, recessed panic button that ensures all school staff have an immediate, discreet and easy way to call for help from anywhere on campus, without requiring an app or smartphone.
InformaCast is a notification and critical event management software that reaches people via on-premises and mobile devices when emergencies strike, to help manage crisis situations efficiently. By leveraging Informacast, CrisisAlert platform notifications can be sent to all devices that the district has integrated through InformaCast.
“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,” said Brent Cobb, CEO of CENTEGIX. “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.”
“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,” said 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.”
