Higher Education
Each day university officials are presented with situations that would benefit from a smart and efficient communications system designed to assist with information distribution and updates to the student body, faculty and on occasion, emergency organizations.
While general notices and daily updates may have a less urgent timeline, in an emergency situation, valuable minutes lost trying to locate printed lists of numbers and the actual time and personnel support needed to place calls can be critical. But emergencies do not happen every day. Consideration should be taken to plan and create a system which is two fold-one that conveys information quickly and efficiently for day-to-day messaging needs and one that provides powerful features to address crisis situations.
The Group Alert and Conference Server is such a system. From handling typical day-to-day information updates (i.e. class and weather related changes) to emergency group notifications and emergency event conferencing—GACS is ready to make the call.
With the Group Alert and Conference Server, one call into the system can trigger simultaneous distribution of multiple types of messages—voice, text, and email—to thousands of individual recipients with specific information.
