Why Mass Alerts?

Mass alerts are the most efficient and quickest way to reach people today, period! 

With most of the population carrying cell phones, there is no easier or quicker way to delivery portable messages to individuals than with text/SMS message technology.  More than 91% of students and 95% of business professionals carry cell phone with them on a daily basis.

Years ago, phone dialing systems were created and marketed as a way to deliver messages that were urgent or emergency related.  These systems failed to deliver messages in a reasonable amount of time and in a timely manner.  The principle issue with these system was that they do not work well during high volume delivery.  During the September 11th terrorist attacks most wired and wireless call attempts were not successful, but cell phone/SMS text  messages went thought just fine, due to the efficiency of this delivery method and the fact that less bandwidth is required.

Up to this time, many technologies have been introduced that can alternatively deliver messages to end users.  These have been marketed to businesses and schools and include features that send emails and even provide pop-up alerts on an end user's desktop.  Most of these systems required expensive software to be installed within the user's network and even additional software or hardware to be purchased for their server.  It was also common for operational issues or bugs to appear and cause downtown to such systems.

Our system is turn-key and does not require any software, hardware or additional technology support investments on your part.  There is no worry to purchase additional bandwidth or worry about servers going down or crashing.
