Application Gateway

What makes the BlueSky Messaging System different is that it can integrate with existing systems to deliver a completely unified messaging solution (also see our additional modules brochure). The system can be scaled to fit any business from small 5 user systems to large 10,000 plus user systems.

Messaging Core Components

The following components make up the core of the messaging system. They are common in all BlueSky Messaging Systems.

Web Messenger – Paging

Users with access to the web console can send messages to any handset on the system removing the need to have a separate paging system. As you can see from the screenshot (bottom) - it is a very simple process.

Virtual Keypad/Call Point

With a single click users with access to the web browser can use the virtual keypad to send messages to any end point or group of endpoints on the system. E.G security alert, queue buster or comfort break. The messages are completely configurable by system administrators.

Web User Console

The web console is accessed via a web browser, it is where uses can come to manager their own message inbox and sent items just like a web mail system. Standard users can manage their password, access help and view simple reports. Super users can do everything a standard user can do as well as manage users and simple groups.

Web Administration Console

Using a web browser an administrator can manage, users, groups, and escalation sets. They can configure message templates, IP settings for the various Ethernet ports, use IP tools e.g. Ping and shut the systems down. Administrators can also manage the real world interface e.g. Fire alarms, WiFi telephones, email and more depending on what is installed on the system.
A comprehensive set of reports, graphs and export tools are available along with a complete set of online manuals

Audit Log

Accessed via a web browser the audit log logs every user login, password change, configuration change and more on the system. It is fully searchable and can be exported to a Microsoft Excel compatible file.

Dect and WiFi Phone Modules

The Dect and WiFi phone modules interface with various Dect and WiFi handsets on the market and enable the phones to be used to receive and send messages.

Desk Phone Module

The Desk phone module interfaces with various Desk VoIP handsets on the market and enables the phone to be used to generate messages.

Escalation monitor

Escalation groups guarantee a response, if all the recipients in the first escalation group reject the message then it is immediately escalated to the next group of handsets or by email or many other end points to a central administrator.

Message Filter

The message filter module can be programmed to block rapidly recurring alarm and event messages to reduce alarm “snow” and false positives. Messages that are blocked are temporally stored in a trash folder which is accessible to super users and administrator. The trash message folder is cleared of all messages older than one month.

Lost And Found Monitor

When an endpoint is unavailable the lost and found monitor will repeatedly attempt to contact the missing endpoint until it is either found or the system times out.

There are a large number of additional modules, that when requested are simply installed, configured and switched on remotely.
