Communication in crisis
The current security climate may mean that schools, colleges and universities need to react to emergency situations that threaten the wellbeing of students and staff.
Callmy has been designed to deliver a simple to use mass notification and response service, which will help to deliver communication in a crisis. The service also identifies the whereabouts of students and monitors their location globally*. This feature can be used to meet statutory requirements and support Safegaurding initiatives.
To help deliver personal safety, Callmy also provides an app based personal SOS function. If students find themselves in a threatening situation this can be activated to pass their contact details and GPS location to an appropriate response team.

A dedicated inbox to improve response
Callmy will enable you to post text, voice and picture messages in an instant, which relevant parties consume via a dedicated app. If required each Callmy message can be configured to request an appropriate response – the responses monitored in real-time via the Callmy Management Portal.
As users have the Callmy app, which is only used for urgent messages, there is less risk of an important communication being missed – this greatly benefits response time.
Different situations will dictate the response you require. Callmy will enable you to send a message as either a simple statement of the fact, or configured to request an acknowledgement of receipt, the users contact details, their GPS location or a comment.
Real-time Management
Being able to send free text and voice messages, with none of the cost or complexity of similar solutions is only part of the story. It is also vital you are provided with details on how your Callmy service is performing and how messages are being consumed, with graphical information on the whereabouts of your users.
The Callmy Management Portal enables your administrators to view these real-time details.
This information will help to target communication, aid resource allocation and support your business operations.
Callmy – a new service to compliment and support your Business Continuity and emergency plans.
Cost effective and simple to deploy
Being cloud based*, there is no equipment to deploy or complex system integration issues to overcome. Callmy is also a survivable service, which is less likely to be effected by communications networks running out of capacity or not being available.
Another benefit is that Callmy messages are free – there are no SMS charges and you are not limited to the amount of information you can share. The Callmy Management Portal also provides secure document storage, simplifying access to relevant material to support your emergency response.

Overcoming the communication challenge?
A crisis will inevitably cause an added burden on communications resources and infrastructure – notwithstanding it has survived the situation and is accessible. News of a crisis is hard to control – it’s now the public and not the media who are the gatekeepers. The “story” may be global before you have time to react and this can be detrimental to managing the situation on the ground.
Sharing information effectively, locating contacts and maintaining situational awareness are key consideration. There is, therefore, a fundamental need to deploy survivable communication services, which are simple to manage and cost effective to deploy.
