Delayed informatio

Important information does not reach employees on time.

Communication runs through too many uncoordinated channels.

Unreliable tools

Conventional tools fail or collapse under the load.

There is a lack of clear processes for coordination and response.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Why do I need my own emergency communication system

Because traditional tools such as email, telephone, or MS Teams often don’t work in an emergency:

they are connected to the central IT system
they are vulnerable to cyberattacks and outages
They do not offer any alarm functions.
they are not built for crisis scenarios
they are not NIS-2 compliant

Teamwire remains stable even if your main system has already failed.
