When an emergency situation occurs, it is critical to have the ability to reach students, faculty and staff on each of our four campuses. We chose the ActiveCrawl RSS solution because its integration with e2Campus lets us send out desktop emergency alerts along with other platform alerts. This comprehensive plan is necessary to secure the safety of our college.

Gary Stelzig, deputy director of campus safety at Widener University.

Widener University is among many other colleges implementing ActiveAccess solutions as an efficient means for communicating during emergency situations. Desktop applications bypass busy network lines during times of crisis to place critical information in front of people quickly, and work in harmony with other communication channels like SMS, voice, and digital signage.
