National Notification Network (3n) reveals top five ways companies benefit from emergency mass notification systems

Findings Support Gartner Report on Mass Notification Systems in Global 2000 Corporations

GLENDALE, Calif., May 2, 2005 -- National Notification Network (3n), a leading provider of emergency mass notification systems, today outlined the top five ways companies benefit from using mass notification systems in emergencies. These benefits are driving the adoption of mass notification systems, which according to a recent Gartner study will be deployed by 75 percent of Global 2000 companies by the end of 2007.

3n is at the forefront in implementing emergency mass notification systems for the Global 2000. The company has developed a list of benefits through its experience with over one hundred customers including: EarthLink, the United States Coast Guard, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These benefits represent key issues, concerns and priorities for businesses that understand the importance of implementing an emergency mass notification system:

1. Reach thousands in minutes: Mass notification gives one person the ability to reach thousands of employees, partners, or customers within minutes. Mass notification enhances current communication methods by allowing users to send messages in voice and text format simultaneously.

2. Crisis communication: Mass notification gives an organization the ability to communicate "real-time" during a crisis. This technology frees key personnel to "manage the crisis, not the communications." It allows companies to get the right information to the right people in time to save lives and prevent loss.

3. Reliable communication: The most reliable mass notification systems are housed in multiple, geographically dispersed Tier 1 data centers, giving organizations the confidence it will work when they need it. In the event that a single data center is incapacitated by a local or regional event, a redundant data center is standing by to continue to send notifications and reports.

4. Audit trail: Organizations spend vast amounts of time preparing for all types of crisis and what to do when they occur. However, most organizations don't go the extra step to ensure that they have a record of their response. With a mass notification system, administrators receive real-time confirmation of message delivery and receipt, indicating "who-did-what-when" for compliance and legal support issues.

5. Ease-of-use: The best mass notification systems are designed so that in an emergency situation, even without training or previous experience, an organization can send a message quickly through multiple methods and devices.

From the tsunami in Southeast Asia to mudslides in California, emergencies strike without notice. As the Gartner report indicates, companies with business continuity and disaster recovery plans in place are recognizing the importance of including emergency mass notification components for managing crisis and mitigating loss. Manual dialing from a telephone "call tree" is no longer sufficient, especially when compared with the value offered by today's mass notification systems.

"Since 2002, 3n has operated with a simple concept -- one person, with just one call, communicating with thousands of people anywhere, anytime, on any device. The Gartner report and our internal research have shown this concept is beginning to take hold," said Cinta Putra, CEO of 3n. "These benefits illustrate the value to any organization that wants to communicate effectively in emergency situations and realize the cost savings that mass notification can bring."
