Mass Notification Solution Targeted to Emergency Communication Needs of Colleges and Universities
GLENDALE, CA --[EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION NEWS]-- September 5, 2007 – 3n (National Notification Network), a global mass notification system provider, today announced the availability of InstaCom Campus Alert 2.0 with enhancements to meet growing demands from colleges and universities.
Version 2.0 to provide enhancements including:
- Extended support for university-controlled self-registration portals,
- Bulletin board-style call-in capabilities supplemented with sophisticated privacy and security features,
- Advanced message-recording options for ease of use and maximum message effectiveness, and
- Live call transfers.
3n’s InstaCom Campus Alert 2.0 is designed to provide colleges and universities with a scalable, cost-effective and quick-to-implement solution for targeted and campus-wide critical communication needs ranging from routine communications to emergency notification. The 3n system also claims up-to-the-second reporting of who has received and confirmed messages so administrators can gauge communication effectiveness.
3n provides InstaCom Campus Alert 2.0 via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model with multiple data centers in an active-active configuration. SaaS enables customers to access software over the Internet without purchasing or maintaining hardware, software or telecommunications equipment. According to 3n, with active-active data centers, data is continuously replicated between data center locations. If service is disrupted at a data center location, all traffic is dynamically rerouted to a different site so that 3n's systems remain continuously available with no failover delays.
According to Larry Hincker, associate vice president of university relations at Virginia Tech, “The 3n InstaCom Campus Alert system is a sophisticated tool that is easy to use. I believe it can only further benefit our students, faculty, and staff.”
