Title: Emergency Notification Wakeup Call Date: 4/25/07
Length: 17:17 Junkies: Jason Huffman, Scott Kincaid, Thom Parrotti, and Mark Dumic Topics: - First shock and disgust over Virginia Tech tragedy. Then, for telecom managers, anxiety about their own emergency notification systems.
- Butler University puts Informacast (www.berbee.com/public/berbeesoftware/InformaCast.aspx) on faculty's IP phones to allow simultaneous audio and text messages.
- Getting students’ and employees’ cell phone numbers now critical, but calls need to be automated.
- Bassett Healthcare shopped four systems before buying Red Alert (www.redalertsystem.com). Thousands contacted in four to six minutes, instead of one hour.
- Doctors prefer text messages to pagers before 5 o’clock, but home phones and cell phones after.
