An Emergency Alerting System Belongs in Your DR Plan

Your organization may already have a disaster recovery plan in place for dealing with adverse events that would otherwise knock your IT systems offline and severely disrupt business operations. But are you equipped with the right communications tools to spread the word about such events?

Your business can experience serious disruptions from a variety of threats – power outages, fire, flood, icy roads and severe weather – to name just a few.

Working with your local MABC team, the Avaya Notification Solution offers an easy way to implement emergency alerting throughout your organization. You can transmit critical information and instructions in real-time via a live broadcast or by launching a pre-recorded message in different media formats to a targeted group of contacts. Poll recipients to determine their location and status. You can even prompt recipients for a response and optionally bring contacts together into a conference bridge to ensure a rapid and coordinated response to incidents.

Notifications can be sent to diverse end points:

  • Enterprise desk phones, home phones, and wireless phones
  • Teletypewriters (TTY) and telecommunication devices for the deaf (TDD)
  • SMS, email, and instant messaging
  • Speakers and horns
  • Digital signage
  • Social networking sites

The Avaya Notification Solution is flexible to deploy too: in your data center or in the cloud. A comprehensive web-based workflow application provides ease of administration, operations and management of the system.

Prepare, plan and be ready… In an emergency, you don’t want to waste time recording messages or figuring out system configurations.
