Our Genesis GenAlert real-time 911 / lockdown alerting solution has been compatible with RingCentral (and Telus Business Connect) for some time now, and the user feedback has been very positive. As more and more users migrate to RingCentral-powered solutions, we're increasingly working more and more users with unique alerting and recording requirements.

RingCentral users, especially those either using or migrating away from on-premises systems, likely need some level of tracking, alerting, and recording for customer and staff safety and compliance with regulations. For some, the basic-type reporting may suffice, but in nearly all cases there is still a significant need for enhanced tools to handle the mass notification and emergency alerting needs.

A few of the unique needs our alerting solution has been able to fill:

• Enabling call recording automatically based on call criteria, with auto recording downloading and emailing after call completion
• Automatic location lookup / retrieval at the time of the emergency call (included in the alerts)
• Real-Time, Multi-Path alerts (emails, SMS, Glip, overhead audible, etc.) customized for different types of emergencies
• Extensive location filtering for separate buildings, floors, addresses, etc. based on extension location
• Real-time conferencing / supervision in of security staff for emergency calls (presently testing)

These are just a few of the unique requirements we've been able to accommodate to date.

When adding in our call tracking and reporting solution, the overall solution provides the most comprehensive reporting, tracking, and alerting solution for RingCentral users of any size.

The Cisco Business Edition 4000 is Cisco's latest hosted unified communications solution specifically designed for small and medium sized businesses.

Are you a Cisco BE4000 user? If so, you may have noticed there are a few built-in reports available, and also that they are basic, generally inflexible, and probably not providing you with the information you need. Report output options are comparatively limited as well, if you are looking for a report that you can modify, you're out of luck.

The good news is that Genesis Call Accounting is compatible with BE4000 systems, and provides you with all the reports and flexible options you have when using Genesis with other phone systems. Especially useful for users needing call information separated out by extension / department for customer bill-backs, analysing calls and traffic analysis by location called / called from for marketing tracking, exception call reporting for identifying misuse and potential system hacks / issues, busy time identification for staffing insight, and a TON of other uses.

Since the BE4000 is still relatively new, many features (such as providing us with call records) are not fully developed, and due to this we will continually monitor and further improve our solution as the BE4000 solution matures, and the ability to report on new information becomes available. Contact Genesis for more information on our BE4000-compatible solution, and how we can improve your reporting!

Genesis is proud to announce the latest enhancements to our powerful, real-time 9-1-1 notification solution for RingCentral, Telus Business Connect and other hosted phone systems!

GenAlert for RingCentral users now have the option to automatically enable call recording for 9-1-1 calls (or any other "emergency"-type calls). This allows universities, public corporations and other institutions with stringent, mandatory security policies to fully comply with them, while also maintaining those critical recordings of 9-1-1 or other emergency calls selectively. Having a recording can help speed assistance, improve handling of false / accidental 9-1-1 calls, and maintain critical records in the event of future litigation. It's often a no-brainer - you should be recording these calls!

Adding on Glip, email, SMS and custom alerting, and automatic location reporting to GenAlert, users have the most flexible and all-encompassing 9-1-1 reporting solution for RingCentral, period.

Our GenAlert solution, providing real-time 9-1-1 alerting for RingCentral (and other phone systems), is designed to meet your organizations complex alerting requirements. We take all requests for customization extremely seriously, and will go the extra mile to make sure your GenAlert provides you with the solution that meets your organizations requirements.

Give us a call to find out more about GenAlert real-time alerting (and recording), and how we can help improve your organizations 9-1-1 and emergency situation handling!

Did you know Genesis solutions are compatible with many different operating systems - not just Microsoft Windows?

Although many users prefer to install their software in a Windows-based environment, it is not a Genesis requirement, and indeed our applications work equally well in Linux environments.

Users who prefer Linux will be pleased to know that they can expect the same reports, ease-of-access, and simple 1-click installation and trouble-free operation regardless of the operating system they choose. Especially for larger organizations with multiple installations, the ability to manage and roll out software updates centrally makes Linux an simple, attractive option.

Hosted users can of course access their software easily from any browser equipped computer, tablet, or smart device, so if you are looking for the ultimate flexibility give us a call to get moved over to our hosted versions!
