The Emergency Personal Computer Alerting System (Epcas) provides Help Desk Personnel and Network Administrators a convenient way to quickly send messages to their users internally within an organization or over the Internet.
Email notifications, popup windows, and dialog boxes typically offer too little, and in some cases, too much control to Information Technology personnel and can be annoying and intrusive to the users of a network.
Such notifications are often ignored or outdated before the user has a chance to read them and respond.
Emails also have a tendency to consume valuable and unnecessary disk space on a network as a whole in cases where the users store old mail in their mailboxes.
Epcas solves these problems by quickly presenting such messages to only those users who are presently connected to the network and are potentially affected by the event.
Whether it's a bomb threat, a tornado, a fire, or a critical server outage, Epcas steps in to keep your users informed.
Additionally as a catch-all , you can send all of the connected Epcas users to any selected website at once, with the click of a button.
This can be very useful in extreme emergencies or for training purposes, demonstrations, or presenting valuable Intranet/Internet information to your users.
For example, you could store three pre-defined web pages on your Intranet that can be used during a fire alarm. One might inform them that it's a only a fire drill and that they should proceed as if it were an actual fire, one to let them know that you're simply testing the audible alarm, or one to warn them of a real fire that displays the escape route.
By designing your own web pages and using Epcas to display them to your users "on the fly", the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
