Customer Testimonials

It empowers teachers to be in control of the safety of their room. They can summon a principal at the push of a button. We know where and we know who. That is a powerful technology.

The idea that anybody can call a lockdown is huge. And not only that, 911 is notified immediately, and they know who activated the lockdown and where they were located...That's good knowledge, especially for law enforcement.

[Before, to make an announcement,] our phones were a problem where you had to dial in four digits, hit star, wait a second, then hit another number. If you wanted to announce an emergency to the whole building, could we do it? Yes. In the case of an emergency, though, that’s tough. [CrisisAlert] is simple in doing that.

Our previous mobile app didn’t work because there were simply too many places on campus where the service was unavailable. We switched to CENTEGIX because there was nothing else that compared in terms of complete campus coverage and ease of use.

The minute we receive a map in an architectural drawing or PDF is the minute it is out of date! If I have to call an architect or vendor to update maps, I waste time and money. CENTEGIX’s Safety Blueprint is the best of both worlds: we can make updates in real-time, and we don’t have to spend money every time we make a change, like consolidating rooms or adding a mobile classroom. The assessment management and inventory management capability is icing on the cake.

Since implementing CENTEGIX, suspensions have decreased to just 261—a staggering 81% reduction. That’s not just a data point—it’s a culture shift.

As a school administrator for over 30 years and a superintendent for 8, I don’t know of a program that has brought me more peace of mind than the CrisisAlert system. We installed this program in all of our schools in the fall of 2023. Recently, while walking through a school, a young teacher stopped me and thanked me for having the system. She told me of a story where a student had a seizure in her class. She quickly utilized the alert system and in less than a minute the administrative team and medical staff were at her door. Due to the quick response, the student was quickly stabilized and later made a full recovery at the hospital. As she relived this experience, she thanked me again for our district investing in this life saving system. I would never start a school year again without the CrisisAlert system.

CENTEGIX meets the rapid communication needs of school leaders that include responding to crisis events and the emergencies that happen in schools. Our highest priority is keeping our Eagle students and staff safe, and this is another step in protecting and fortifying our schools.

I don't know of another product out there that can help control the response time to emergencies. Whether it is a whole campus situation—the unthinkable—or these different medical emergencies, or classroom events. I cannot think of anything that's going to speed up a response the way this does, or enable as many employees to be able to get help and initiate a response.

In the past we struggled with moving the ball forward as quickly as the public has demanded with regards to security and safety of students and staff. This is going to represent a significant move forward.

Our District is adding a layer of safety with the CENTEGIX CrisisAlert wearable badge for Alyssa's Law, gaining the on-site notifications—strobes, computer screen takeovers, intercom announcements—that initiate our emergency protocols and direct everyone on campus to follow their safety training.

A nurse noticed a suspicious individual following her. They weren't able to get on a phone and explain the situation, so they used their duress badge, and help came immediately and deterred the situation.

Seconds can save lives. This gives us the ability to focus directly on where the threat or need is and respond as quickly as possible.

At J. Frank White Academy, our families entrust us with what matters most, their children. This safety technology helps us continue to provide a campus where students feel protected, cared for, and free to focus on learning. Safety and excellence go hand in hand here.

Safety and Security is a top priority to our school district. We sought out a system that will help our staff be safe, supported, and empowered. We believe CENTEGIX will offer this by allowing staff members to quickly and discreetly call for assistance. CENTEGIX will be another tool in our school safety toolbox. We plan to use this system as a proactive approach to safety and security.

We call it a force multiplier: putting this technology in the hands of more than 25,000 employees gives me 25,000 sets of eyes to help keep the campus safe.

What we do, the protocols we use, our CrisisAlert system—and all of those things combined—lend to our ability to head things off before they escalate and become situations where they’re unmanageable.

This adds another layer of safety and security to their kid’s school day, so their kid can focus on—and they can focus on—their kid’s education and less on their kid’s safety.
