IT Outage Notification Software | Planned and Unplanned

Don’t Rely On Email When An Outage Strikes

Communication is key in a system outage. Downtime is unproductive time – and a huge cost to the business.

Informed employees stay busy at their desks – not calling your Helpdesk. IT teams can focus on resolving the incident.

Relying on email during an IT outage is too big a risk. It’s not suited for urgent communication, it’s ignored by staff, and it isn’t effective when the pressure is on.

Network outage notifications that avoid email help resolve incidents faster. And enhance your IT team’s reputation across the organization.

Fast, Unmissable Outage Notification Software

The SnapComms platform bypasses email to guarantee 100% readership of your IT outage notifications – across every device, every location.

Alert employees fast. Provide status updates in real-time. Notify when systems are back online. Promote best practice to improve response to future incidents.

With SnapComms you can target staff groups, schedule messages and repeat until read, to ensure your downtime isn’t a downer for everyone.
