County IT staff propose Informcast paging system to improve courthouse emergency notifications

May 11, 2026

DeKalb County information-systems staff presented a proposal to add an Informcast paging/notification layer to the county's Webex cloud phone system to enable countywide paging and replace a fragile telephone tree. Initial one-time cost quoted at roughly $10,200 with an annual license of about $4,344 for ~300 users; staff will return with an updated vendor quote and references.

DeKalb County’s information-systems director presented a proposed Informcast paging and mass-notification solution that integrates with the county’s new Webex cloud phone system to provide countywide paging and replace an unreliable phone-tree notification process. The system would allow group-targeted messages (for example to department heads) via text or an app notification and would support intercom-style paging across facilities.
