IT Outage Notifications | Unplanned and Planned Outages

Don’t rely on email when an outage strikes

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.

Communication is key. Employees need information fast to stay productive. Your IT team needs to focus on resolving the issue. Management need assurances of any operational impact.

Informed employees stay busy at their desks – not busy calling Helpdesk. IT teams stay focused when every minute counts – and the whole organization sees IT as problem-solving superstars.
