DeskCast Alert System
Announcements that never miss. DeskCast delivers rich, interactive messages directly to every employee desktop — bypassing email overload and reaching people where their attention already is.
Enterprise desktop communications with proof of delivery and acknowledgment for every recipient.
THE PROBLEM
Critical updates get lost.
Employees miss 68% of internal emails, security alerts drown in noise, and HR announcements go unread. DeskCast solves this by putting important messages on the screen — with delivery and acknowledgment you can prove.

A short walkthrough of how announcements are designed, approved, delivered, and tracked.
Six Capabilities That Set DeskCast Apart
Freely Designed Messages
27 elements — text, images, video, audio, HTML, buttons, polls, QR, countdowns, attachments, uploads, signatures, calendars, weather, maps and more — animated live on screen.
Maker–Checker Approval
Every announcement is reviewed by an admin other than the author before it ships, with a full audit trail.
Real-Time Delivery
Push to hundreds of desktops in seconds with live delivery status and per-user acknowledgment tracking.
Precise Targeting
Everyone, entire departments, or specific individuals — no more spray-and-pray communications.
Actionable Buttons
Direct employees to a specific task — open a link, acknowledge, download a form, or launch an internal app.
On-Premise or Cloud
Deploy inside your network. Your data stays yours — perfect for regulated and security-sensitive teams.
Reach Exactly the Right People
Three targeting modes cover every announcement you send.
All Employees
Broadcast company-wide. For town halls, policy changes and emergencies.
By Department
Slice by team — HR, Engineering, Sales, Operations and more.
Individuals
Named recipients only — perfect for approvals or personal notices.
