Internal Desktop News Feed Tool

Internal News Feeds on the Desktop

 

Do staff complain about email overload and that they're too busy to look at the intranet?

An internal desktop news feed is an innovative solution which will ensure your important news and updates get through to staff without them having to seek them out.

SnapComms' Internal Scrolling News feed tool builds on the power of RSS but is more flexible and easy to customize.

Write your own headlines

Write your own desktop ticker content and push scrolling news feeds out to selected staff groups.

 

Quick and easy

The desktop scrolling ticker allows you to send information to targeted groups. Simply type in a headline, add the details of a hyperlink or an additional message box and decide your target groups for the desktop ticker.

Departmental or team scrolling news feeds

Allows departments to get their news out quickly. For example, the sales department can deliver the latest results to teams.

 

Specify persistence

Set the number of scrolls and, if required, repeat messages until they are opened.

 

Schedule internal communications

Set the desktop ticker publish time to coincide with external media releases.

 

Alternative to email during system outages

Provide desktop new feed updates during system outages.
