Developing and deploying communications software and equipment is getting easier and easier. Information sharing and management requirements continue to demand that networked environments deliver actionable intelligence and empirical data faster and at a lower cost.

Integrating commercial off the shelf (COTS) modules to retrieve and present data manipulated or otherwise has been viewed as a god send for meeting these demands. The Desktop Alert system was architected from the start with the integration of multiple technologies from multiple vendors in mind. The Desktop Alert multi-vendor, multi-technology platform architecture can significantly reduce the time, cost, and effort of deploying enterprise class integrated network software platforms and equipment.

The management of all data is a critical need for any enterprise operation and especially for those who rely on emergency notification systems. Notification technology ensures that organizations accurately target individuals or groups of users in times of emergency and reach them via multiple means of personal communication including desktop, land phone, mobile phone, pager, speaker systems, digital signage, handheld radios, BlackBerry, email and more.

The Desktop Alert architecture delivers an API web services interface as well as adapter applications (applications highly sculpted to a vendors needs which at times enables vendor integration with little to no vendor code disruption) to identify business rules, facilitate and corral both real-time and latency-based data for execution of desired functionality and resulting report data.

3rd party software and hardware integration is easier then most companies realize.  The trend is towards "adapter" applications which essentially equate to middleware designed by the hosting application vendor for rapid integration.  Such integrations can often times be accomplished in a single day.
