Enhancing Microsoft Teams with Genesis for Smarter Alerts and Analytics

by lisa September 29, 2025

As organizations increasingly adopt Microsoft Teams for unified communication, managing emergency alerts, analytics, and cost control becomes ever more critical—this is where Genesis’s Teams-integrated solutions shine. Genesis extends Teams by enabling real-time alerting on emergency calls (e.g. 911), automatically identifying caller location, and broadcasting notifications via overhead paging, desktop popups, and even mobile apps with guided response workflows. Our system also consolidates call and meeting data—capturing user-level details that Teams alone doesn’t readily provide—to generate robust reports for compliance, performance measurement, and usage tracking. An especially compelling benefit for large institutions, such as universities, lies in optimizing licensing: by pinpointing unused or under-utilized accounts or hardware, organizations have eliminated significant excess licensing costs, while still fulfilling all reporting and alerting obligations.

Improve your Real-Time Emergency Alerts with Interactive Adaptive Cards!

by Nathan March 4, 2022

Genesis alerts are now available in both standard text and adaptive card formats! Now users can choose easier to read, interactive alerts that allow responders to collaborate in real-time, track acknowledgments , and more. In addition to our mobile app solution Incident Aware, the addition of the new adaptive card features allows Genesis users to better collaborate and manage emergencies quickly and effectively.

Genesis has provided some of the most safety-forward 911 and other emergency alerting solutions for businesses for over 15 years. GenAlert started as a solution for providing simple notifications in the event someone dialed an emergency number, with options for including additional information related to location and personal details.

Genesis added a significant number of additional features in 2017, leveraging more telephone system features and capabilities to enhance the quality & visibility of emergency notifications, as well as providing additional tools for evaluating and archiving critical information for post-call analysis. GenAlert now gives users the ability to not only receive alerts in real-time when 911 is dialed, but also provides selective call audio recording, security staff call monitoring, dynamic location lookups, overhead & telephone-based paging capabilities, and much more.

Genesis Supports Microsoft Teams 9-1-1 Notifications + Call Tracking & Reporting

by Nathan April 16, 2021

Genesis Systems has recently added support for Teams in both our GenAlert 911 Alerting and Call Tracking & Reporting solutions!

Now, locations using Microsoft Teams (either solely, or as a component in their telephony environment) can extend their real-time emergency awareness and greatly improve on-site emergency response time.

You simply cannot be too informed in the event of emergencies, and this is why GenAlert provides flexible, real-time multi-path alerting which includes emails, SMS, desktop alerts, triggering on-site physical equipment, in-app alerts, and even integrations with social media platforms.

Likewise with call tracking; many Teams users complain about the reporting and data natively available, especially when attempting to generate consolidated reports for business units and specialized reports, not to mention users who rely on call analytics in day-to-day operations.

Genesis Call Accounting & Tracking provides Teams users with flexible, easy-to-use reporting that can be customized to your requirements, delivered on any schedule you need, and can even alert you to misuse or account compromises. Genesis has been the standard for many of the largest organizations for over 35 years, and this legacy continues now for Teams users.
