Incident Aware: Smarter, Faster, Connected Safety Alerts

by lisa August 26, 2025

In a crisis, clear communication is the most important response tool. The Incident Aware App was designed to give organizations a smarter way to trigger and manage alerts across multiple channels—ensuring that no matter where people are or what device they’re using, they get the message.

One Trigger, Multiple Channels

With Incident Aware, a single action—whether from a desk phone, mobile app, or desktop computer—instantly activates the cloud-based system. From there, alerts can be delivered simultaneously through visual notifications, audible alarms, and integrated APIs, reaching staff and responders without delay.

Visual Alerts

Critical information doesn’t just need to be heard—it needs to be seen. Incident Aware delivers visual alerts directly to desktop screens, digital signage, mobile phones, and email, ensuring messages are impossible to miss and providing immediate, actionable details when they matter most.

Audible Alerts

For situations where sound is essential, the system integrates with overhead paging, loudspeakers, desk phones, and mobile devices. Whether through a siren, an automated call, or a broadcast announcement, audible alerts ensure that people are reached quickly—even in noisy or crowded environments.

APIs and Integrations

Incident Aware also extends beyond its own channels through secure APIs. This makes it easy to connect the platform with existing dashboards, ticketing systems, or analytics tools, allowing organizations to unify emergency communications with their broader safety and IT strategies.

Why It Matters

Emergencies are unpredictable, but communication shouldn’t be. Incident Aware ensures that critical alerts cut through noise, reach the right people, and provide clear, actionable information—without depending on any one device or channel. From workplace violence prevention to weather alerts or IT disruptions, the platform helps organizations reduce response times, improve situational awareness, and keep people safe.

Smarter Emergency Communication with Genesis for RingCentral

by lisa August 21, 2025

When emergencies happen, speed and clarity of communication matter. Genesis Systems, fully integrated with RingCentral, provides organizations with a powerful platform that unifies emergency alerting, incident tracking, and call management.

With Genesis, alerts can be dispatched instantly through multiple channels: SMS, voice, email, app notifications, and even overhead paging. Notifications can include GPS location data, giving responders the precise information needed to act quickly. Whether it’s a 911 call, a weather event, or a panic alarm, the system ensures that critical information reaches the right people at the right time.

What sets Genesis apart is its ability to integrate with existing on-site multicast and SIP paging equipment, amplifying messages across facilities for maximum reach. This bridges the gap between cloud-based RingCentral communications and the physical infrastructure already in place—without costly replacements.

Beyond emergency response, Genesis also enhances daily operations with detailed call analytics, usage tracking, and advanced reporting. These insights help organizations control costs, prevent misuse, and improve efficiency while keeping staff and stakeholders connected.

By choosing Genesis for your RingCentral system, organizations gain a unified, future-ready communication system that improves safety, compliance, and decision-making—ensuring that every call and every alert contributes to a smarter, safer workplace.

Unlocking Strategic Visibility: Analytics & Insights with Genesis

by lisa August 1, 2025

Navigating a modern communication environment requires more than alerts—it demands foresight. That’s where Genesis’s Analytics & Insights solution plays a crucial role, delivering comprehensive visibility into your telephony data so you can optimize your operations, reduce cost, and prevent service failures before they happen.

Why Analytics & Insights Matters
Proactive Monitoring: Detect emerging issues—such as trunk saturation, bandwidth degradation, or anomalous usage—through real-time metrics and alerts. Spot telecom problems before users are affected.
Historical and Compliance Records: Preserve detailed records of call usage, system configurations, and performance for audits, disaster preparedness, or compliance mandates.
Capacity & Performance Management: Track trends in contact center performance or SIP trunk usage to forecast staffing needs, scaling requirements, and cost implications.
Security and Misuse Alerts: Detect unusual or potentially malicious phone system behavior—protecting your infrastructure and minimizing risk.

Key Capabilities
Responsive Dashboards & Reporting: Select from visual dashboards or deep dive into detailed analytics—including system capacity, call volumes, and cost metrics. Schedule automated reports in formats like Excel or PDF, and distribute them via email or internal channels.
Custom Alerts & Notification Paths: Set thresholds for issues—like contact-center delays, trunk overuse, or call anomalies—and trigger alerts that flow into Incident Aware's ticketing, task flows, and notification workflows.
Long-Term Data Retention & On-Demand Reporting: Maintain indefinite access to communication history with ad-hoc, historical, or scheduled reports. Users can generate insights anytime, without developer support.

What This Means for You
Operational Oversight: Gain total visibility into voice system usage trends and resource allocations across your organization.
Risk Mitigation: Identify telecom misuse or emerging performance concerns early—before they escalate.
Informed Strategic Planning: Use real data to forecast capacity needs, optimize infrastructure investments, and better support staffing decisions.
Compliance & Audit Assurance: Keep immutable, exportable records to satisfy regulatory or organizational reporting requirements.
Integrate with Incident Aware for Full-Spectrum Awareness

By feeding its data into Incident Aware, Analytics & Insights becomes part of a unified incident-management ecosystem. That means all relevant alerts, metrics, and performance anomalies are surfaced alongside real-time emergencies—accelerating response and improving situational clarity.

With Genesis's Analytics & Insights, you’re not just tracking voice data—you're turning it into strategic foresight. Track performance, forecast demand, detect misuse, and feed the right alerts into Incident Aware’s workflows. It’s comprehensive oversight for critical communications infrastructure—fueling smarter decisions and stronger safety.
