What do I need to know before deciding on a provider for desktop alert software?
While there are very few providers of this type of communication software it is very important to know what to research upfront so there won't be a big surprise in the end or you find yourself in a position where you are locked into a solution that might be costly and ultimately ineffective. Make sure to find out and be comfortable knowing:
> What is the pricing structure?
> How much does the system cost?
> Is this a subscription or lease based software or would we own the software?
> Are there mandatory recurring fees? If so, how much?
> Is this locally hosted?
> Are there additional fees to locally host my own software?
> Are there server licensing fees?
> What is included in the software?
> What happens to my data if I decide to pursue another option?

Are some companies too small for this type of solution?
Absolutely not! Every organization benefits greatly from improved internal communication and with a price that makes it easy to choose XComms. In some cases (unfortunately) there are companies that may price themselves out of implementing this type of service after sending inquiries to other providers. Either because the rates provided are cost prohibitive or requests are simply ignored.
With XComms there is no such thing as a customer who is too small nor is there a solution that is unaffordable considering the value of this solution. XComms does not charge customers for modules or functions they would not benefit from so if the interest in making the organization better is there (regardless of size or budget) then there is always a way to make the solution customized and affordable for anyone.

He/she can easily and quickly determine how obtrusive or unobtrusive an alert needs to be in a very user friendly, flexible and customizable desktop alert administrator console.
In addition you can send a less invasive notification via a scrolling ticker alert that would scroll across the screen containing information that is important without being disruptive.

PRICING FAQ
How is the price for desktop alert software determined?
Pricing is determined by two things. The number of users or machines that are being targeted and which alert modules you would be using would ultimately determine the cost of the software. The pricing is extremely flexible and we do not charge customers for functions they do not need or licenses they will never use.
Can we see a demo of the software?
Definitely! You can schedule a demo with us at your convenience.
In an effort to not waste anyone's time with a pre-recorded demonstration or a "cattle call" type mass demo or webinar telling you about services that ultimately may not apply to what you are looking for, we will carefully listen to what your needs are and show you exactly how using the XComms solution will fill those needs and have a profound impact on your organization at a rate that is extremely cost effective and one that you would ultimately own with no obligation of mandatory recurring fees or associated costs that make no sense.

Why is XComms priced so much lower than other poviders?
Our goal is to provide the best internal communication solution available at a cost that enables all companies (regardless of size) to have an effective internal communication infrastructure that rivals even the largest of organizations.
The truth is that getting your alerts from point A to point B is not a new accomplishment for any of our competitors or ourselves so there is no sense in charging extra for the development of something has been in place for a while or has already paid for itself many times over. However like most big companies conduct business, marketing is a necessity and expenses have to be absorbed somewhere... In most cases it's the customer who pays heavily for aggressive advertising and that's not a concept we employ.
XComms offers a more A la carte purchasing option for our customers. We believe that if you don't need it, don't buy it ... And certainly don't pay more for it if you don’t have to. When new functions and features are developed, often they are included in all solutions. And if you have an opportunity to own as opposed to renting a solution, owning is always the better way to go... Especially if what you are buying is already the most affordable option in the industry to begin with.
