Pop-up Alerts. Sender can schedule when it appears and target specific distribution lists. Format can be branded to match company intranet/other communications channels.
The other half of the story: the Snap Client. The SnapClient is essentially a widget installed on computers that manages the display of information. It reads the user’s details, checks for new messages, pulls down any messages targeted to them, and displays the messages as set by the sender. Employees cannot exit or turn off the software. Most companies will have their IT department centrally deploy the Snap Client, just as they would any other software application. (We provide it as an .msi package).
The Snap Client icon sits in the task bar. If a viewer clicks on it, the Message History window appears, showing all current messages that have been delivered. Useful if you want to revisit a message later.
SnapComms is a client-server software. The Content Manager Portal is where administrators login to create and send messages, view reports, track delivery, manage groups and users. The software can be provided as a hosted version (Snap hosts the Content Manager in the cloud and connects to PCs using encrypted, secure paths) or as an enterprise version (customer hosts the software on its own servers completely behind the firewall).
Countdown screensaver example (set before and after image and links)
Screensavers can be made INTERACTIVE – set hyperlinks and have employees click through to respond or find out more. (If interactive, hitting ESC key will allow exiting of screensavers without going to the URLs.)
