http://www.snapcomms.com/snap/tools/snapticker.aspxWith the growth of the internet and other technologies, there has been an explosion in the information available to us. The challenge is to find the correct, most up to date information without having to spend lots of time 'wading through treacle'. Snap Ticker leverages the power of RSS, which you may be aware of, but has additional flexibility and can be easily customised.Staff can be working away, and along the bottom of the screen appears a scrolling new feed. If they are deep in thought they may ignore it and it won't interrupt their flow. If they are ready for an interruption they'll have a scan. Alternatively, when an appropriate break in the work flow comes they may click through to find out more.Snap Ticker allows you to leverage external information sources as it can push out information updates from any source that is RSS enabled (without requiring staff to opt in, although this is an option). This helps keep to staff informed and be more effective in their roles.However, the most powerful feature of Snap Ticker is that the Administrators can write their own feeds and push them out to target staff groups. This means that you can quickly send out any news update with a link to further information, simply by typing in a headline, inputting link details and setting the target groups. This format is ideal for the call centre environment as it can keep people informed of the latest updates without interrupting their workflow.Snap Tickers are a great way to provide information updates and transport staff directly to the information they need.....anything from a specific intranet page, to a website to a document on the shared networkBecause communications are targetable, and you can have more than one Administrator, you can nominate selected staff from different departments (e.g. the sales team or engineering department) to manage the Snap Ticker for their audiences.....as an overall Administrator, you have complete visibility of all messagesIt is also possible to run standard RSS feeds through Snap Ticker, so if you have an RSS enabled intranet, you can run this in addition to customising other feeds.Another feature is the option to set up the ticker to continue scrolling on-screen until clicked upon. This means that you can guarantee that staff have viewed important content.
