Minimize Response Times by Implementing Emergency Preparedness and Notification Distribution
Immediate Response
When an emergency occurs, it is critical that companies have the necessary tools available to respond quickly and effectively. For this purpose, Compunetix created our Emergency Conferencing offer through the ConferenceManager (CM) and Summit Olympus platforms. These tools can alert and connect emergency responders or designated company personnel quickly with minimal effort. With Emergency Conferencing, you can save time, effort, and potentially save lives.
Deployable as either a stand-alone emergency tool, or as a feature add-on to a Summit or CM general conferencing solution, Compunetix Emergency Conferencing is built to enhance existing emergency procedures and provide a reliable and secure communication channel when it is needed most. Our solutions for emergency preparedness enable organizations to get ahead of the unexpected. By having a plan and the right tools available, businesses can significantly minimize the impact of an emergency.
Emergency Conferencing
The emerging threat factors from cyber hacks and ransomware – along with increased catastrophic weather events – have greatly elevated the need for emergency communications. How do you inform, strategize and respond to threats when the very network that you are using may be compromised? Increasingly, security experts and consultants recommend maintaining ‘secondary band’ communications in place should such an event occur. In the event of an emergency, a first responder dials a dedicated number which tells the system to create a conference and triggers a blast dial-out to the other members of the response team. Each team member is then joined directly to the emergency conference in progress, or, if configured, team members are prompted to join before being added.
Emergency Conferencing Capabilities:
- Automatic blast dial to a list of emergency personnel
- Supports an unlimited number of emergency groups
- Up to 3 dial out phone numbers per person
- Phone number mapping to an emergency group, requiring no user input to initiate an emergency conference
- Blast dial initiated when first person dials in (based on dialed number), no additional user input required
Emergency Notification
Another powerful function of the emergency blast dial feature is its ability to deliver a pre-recorded message to a specified group. From emergencies to timely organization-wide updates, this feature makes it easy to get crucial messages out to large groups in a matter of minutes.
Emergency Notification Capabilities:
- Mass dial out and notification to a list of specified personnel
- Recorded message can be pre-scheduled or distributed at a moment’s notice
- Can direct unique messages to different groups
- Up to 3 dial out phone numbers per person
- System leaves message with recorded notification for those who do not answer the incoming call
- Emergency Notification initiated when first person dials in (based on dialed number), no additional user input required
