4 minute read
Questions about activation
Ask how many steps staff must take to trigger an alert, whether the workflow depends on a phone, and how the vendor expects the system to perform under pressure.
Questions about deployment
Ask how the system scales from one building to multiple campuses, how coverage is planned, and whether the rollout model supports district-wide consistency.
Questions about response value
Ask what information administrators and responders receive immediately, how location visibility works, and how escalation logic is configured.
Key takeaways
- Buying questions should focus on workflow, not just features.
- District scalability needs to be answered clearly.
- Response information quality matters as much as activation speed.
