Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. Announces Agreement With Workspeed To Provide Emergency Preparedness Solutions For High-Rise Buildings
FAIR LAWN, N.J., --[Emergency Notification News] -- March 28, 2007 - Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc., (Amex: HBE) a turnkey provider of technology-based integrated electronic security solutions, today announced an agreement between Diversified Security Solutions Inc., a subsidiary of Henry Bros. Electronics, and Workspeed Notifications, LLC, a leading provider of Web-based and wireless applications that optimize real estate enterprise performance.
Diversified Security Solutions has been engaged in the business of creating Emergency Action Plans for high-rise buildings since 2002. In 2006, New York City passed Local Law 26, which requires all commercial high-rise buildings to have an Emergency Action Plan. The law also requires all tenants to "establish and maintain a system of assigning responsibility for accounting for employees present in the building so that accounting can be made in the event of an in-building relocation, partial evacuation or full evacuation."
Working with Diversified Security Solutions, Workspeed Notifications developed an electronic solution (known as Workspeed Notify) that sends information to thousands of employees instantly while those employees can respond electronically for the purpose of accountability tailored for building evacuation and disaster recovery. Diversified Security will market Workspeed Notifications product exclusively to its New York customers and sell the product nationwide as part of its emergency preparedness solution.
Mark Novak, Director of Emergency Planning, of Diversified Security Solutions, said, "As one of the leaders in creating emergency action plans in New York City, coupled with the passage of Local Law 26 and the agreement with Workspeed, we are now positioned to capitalize on this growing and important market. Human Resource departments need to implement new strategies for employee communications during times of crisis, and our solution will help resolve accountability issues and meet the requirements of the law."
Derrick Chen, CEO of Workspeed, said, "Workspeed is proud that Diversified Security, New York's leading provider of emergency action plan development to the commercial real estate industry, has agreed to distribute Workspeed Notify. Diversified's vision of using the Workspeed Notify tool to enable not only compliance with Local Law 26, but also the development of truly workable emergency plans, will make a major difference when a crisis occurs."

Workspeed Lauches Notifications, The Cutting Edge Emergency Notification System For Commercial Real Estate Businesses
NEW YORK, NY --[Emergency Notification News] -- February 26, 2007 - Workspeed, a leading New York-based provider of Web-based and wireless applications that optimize real estate enterprise performance, today announced the unveiling of Workspeed Notifications, a powerful new system for time critical two-way group communications tailored for building evacuation and disaster recovery that complies with New York Local Law 26. By integrating Workspeed Notifications with their EAP (Emergency Action Plan) data, landlords will be prepared for any emergency situation that demands immediate contact with all of a building's occupants.
Workspeed Notifications allows users to communicate messages to all building occupants via a recorded voice and/or advanced text to speech options. Upon receiving these messages, all building occupants, both inside and outside the building, can immediately reply to a landlord's message, providing rapid actionable data for emergency workers and safety staff.
"Workspeed and its new Notifications service work in tandem to comply with New York Local Law 26, which requires companies to account for their staff in an emergency evacuation and therefore aid the FDNY in rescue operations," said Derrick Chen, CEO of Workspeed. "As a result of this new law, landlords and floor wardens need a fast, reliable and efficient way to contact tenants of the buildings under their management."
Workspeed Notifications offers landlords a system that enables them to reach out to occupants in an emergency situation and track every contact attempt. "No other real estate management system provides users with a unique 'two-way' group communications system that allows landlords not only to reach occupants via multiple communications devices, but also receive responses from each occupant," explained Chen.
Key functionalities of Workspeed Notifications include:
- simplified notification initiation via phone, email or web
- a secure central repository for emergency contact information
- conference bridging for immediate emergency response
- full tracking and real-time response reporting
- seamlessly integrated with EAP management
Workspeed Notifications does not require any specific hardware or software for installation and supports all communication devices and methods including phones, PDAs, Blackberries, email, fax machines and instant messaging. Landlords quickly activate Notifications via the phone or web. Unlike "phone trees" or other less reliable and time-consuming emergency notification methods, the system is supported by a highly fault tolerant infrastructure with secure offsite redundant facilities.
