The Association of Colleges (AoC) is a not-for-profit membership organisation set up in 1996 by colleges to act as their collective voice. They exist to represent and promote the interests of colleges and provide members with professional support services.

Membership is made up of 308 further education, sixth form, tertiary and specialist colleges across the UK – 95% of the sector.

The AoC represent colleges nationally and influence Government and its agencies on policies affecting the sector and their students and staff at national and regional levels.

Callmy launched its mass notification, response and location service to the sector, at this years AoC conference and exhibition. Tony Watson, Callmy’s CEO and Founder, commented, “the decision to launch Callmy to the FE sector builds on the work we have undertaken with Higher Education. Both have similar challenges and the need for effective means of communication during emergencies and business continuity events. We were delighted with the initial response  and now look forward to working with the AoC and colleges throughout the UK”.

 

 

UEA & The University of Birmingham choose Callmy

Effective communications are central to their plans and both the University of East Anglia and The University of Birmingham have chosen to deploy Callmy. UEA are using Callmy to support their campus security operations and The University of Birmingham are rolling out to their entire University estate, which spans some 30,000 users. Both universities realise in an emergency it is vital they have access to a dedicated communication channel, which stands apart from email, SMS and Social Media – Callmy’s app based solution provides the ideal option. Ease of use, price and not requiring a database of contacts are also key factors.
