How is your government office communicating with its citizens online? You work hard to protect citizens and ensure they are informed about their government, receive emergency information, community event notices and other updates. As technology has improved, so have the demands of your citizens to be connected instantly to their government.

SpectraRep's ActiveAccess desktop alerting solution is a powerful communications channel for building a network and staying connected with your citizens. ActiveAccess places your government's content and information directly on your viewer's desktop every time they are on their computer.

In the event of any emergencies, officials can use the rich functionality of the solution to deliver scrolling text alerts or graphical and video alerts (stream or taped) that are delivered to the desktop through the application within a few minutes after issuance.
