Enhancing Microsoft Teams with Genesis for Smarter Alerts and Analytics

by lisa September 29, 2025

As organizations increasingly adopt Microsoft Teams for unified communication, managing emergency alerts, analytics, and cost control becomes ever more critical—this is where Genesis’s Teams-integrated solutions shine. Genesis extends Teams by enabling real-time alerting on emergency calls (e.g. 911), automatically identifying caller location, and broadcasting notifications via overhead paging, desktop popups, and even mobile apps with guided response workflows. Our system also consolidates call and meeting data—capturing user-level details that Teams alone doesn’t readily provide—to generate robust reports for compliance, performance measurement, and usage tracking. An especially compelling benefit for large institutions, such as universities, lies in optimizing licensing: by pinpointing unused or under-utilized accounts or hardware, organizations have eliminated significant excess licensing costs, while still fulfilling all reporting and alerting obligations.

Elevate Your RingCentral Environment with Genesis

by lisa September 12, 2025

In the modern workplace, seamless communication and rapid response to emergencies are no longer optional—they’re essential. While RingCentral provides a powerful cloud communications platform, pairing it with Genesis Systems takes your environment to the next level, uniting communication, safety, and analytics in one cohesive solution.

Smarter Emergency Management: Genesis integrates directly into RingCentral to deliver advanced emergency alerting and management. When someone dials 911 or another critical number, Genesis automatically triggers alerts across multiple channels—mobile app, SMS, voice, email, and even on-site paging systems. With location-rich notifications, your team can respond faster to incidents like evacuations, lockdowns, or medical emergencies, ensuring no time is lost when it matters most.

Real-Time Incident Response: Emergencies don’t wait, and neither should your communication system. With Genesis, you can send real-time alerts that include precise GPS details and incident context. Whether it’s a drill, a weather event, or an urgent safety situation, Genesis gives staff and responders the information they need instantly, accessible on both mobile and desktop devices.

Extend Communication Beyond the Cloud: While RingCentral excels in cloud communication, Genesis bridges the gap to your on-site infrastructure. By leveraging multicast and SIP technologies, Genesis integrates with existing paging systems, eliminating the need for costly rip-and-replace strategies. This extends the reach of your emergency communications to every corner of your organization.

Unlock the Power of Call Analytics: Beyond safety, Genesis empowers smarter decision-making with detailed call tracking and analytics. Monitor usage, identify trends, control costs, and detect misuse or abuse. These insights turn your RingCentral environment into not just a communication system, but a data-driven tool for operational excellence.

Why Genesis + RingCentral?
Unified Platform: Manage calls, alerts, and incidents in one place.
Enhanced Safety & Compliance: Ensure rapid response and adherence to protocols.
