The University of Worcester Going Places With Callmy Alert

University of Worcester LogoThe University of Worcester is deploying the Callmy Alert service to help students and staff stay safe while away from the Campus.

Callmy Alert provides a simple app, which staff and students can opt into to enable the University to locate those travelling locally, nationally and internationally, and to proactively send notifications of situations that may affect their travel security. Unlike other solutions of this nature, which use airline booking data to illustrate location, Callmy Alert provides active traveller tracking using GPS positioning available from the user’s mobile phone. This is also optimised to preserve battery life.

As Callmy Alert service includes a mass notification capability, information can be delivered to users that provide information about disruption or incidents in their location – this can also be geo fenced when required. Travellers can also respond to messages, or check in periodically to let the University know they are safe.

The University has complimented the service with the Callmy Alert Personal SOS capability, which is an integrated component of the app. If an individual is in a situation where they require assistance, they can activate an SOS Alert to notify the University, which can then respond accordingly.

The service will also be used to compliment the University’s campus security and the deployment is being supported by the Student Union.

Callmy Announce New Partnership with Todd Research – mailroom security meets mass notification

Partnership Founded in 1950, Todd Research has a proud history of designing, manufacturing and supplying X-ray scanners, metal detectors and blast suppression equipment. Since developing the world’s first mailroom X-ray scanner in 1973, their product range now covers a wide range of security solutions; each designed to aid the detection of suspect devices.

“Our products are used in over 80 countries and our customers span the commercial and government markets” comments Todd’s Business Development Manager Martyn Stanley, “ we are conscious that when a suspect package is detected, there is an immediate need to communicate vital information to ensure a timely response is delivered”. Martyn continues, “We have now integrated our mailroom scanners with the Callmy Alert service. When a suspect item is detected, a push of a button instantly delivers a message to the response team, via their Callmy Alert app, who can then take the required steps. If communications need to be escalated or if a site needs to be locked down, Callmy Alert once again comes into play. In an instant a message can be delivered to user’s smartphones, tablets and desktops. Callmy Alert can be used in a variety of situations and will help our customers to overcome physical threats, cyber related incidents and infrastructure failures”.

We hope Todd Research customers will benefit from the new integration with Callmy Alert and use the capability to support their emergency response and business continuity.

Wiltshire College Group to deploy Callmy Alert

Callmy are delighted to announce the Wiltshire College Group will be implementing the Callmy Alert service for the start of the 2018/19 year.

Wiltshire College was founded in 2002 by the merger of Chippenham Technical College, Lackham, Trowbridge and Salisbury Colleges. With three satellite centres based in Corsham, Devizes and Warminster, four student run farms and a specialist motor racing facility at the Castle Combe circuit, there was an overarching need for an effective emergency communication service to compliment the College’s security procedures.

Callmy Alert was selected as the preferred solution due to its ease of use and delivery. Being app based also ideally suits the student demographic and ensures a fast response to urgent messages – a great alternative to email and without the cost of SMS too!

The College is also benefiting from realtime reporting via the Callmy Alert Management Portal. This highlights what impact messages are having, collates message response statistics and can even locate users who may be in dangerous situations – a consideration for student travel and placements.

The college is deploying Callmy Alert to their 9,975 students and 975 members of staff. Consideration is also being given to evolving the service to help fulfil other emergency communication requirements.

University Of Salford 2018 Create Student Awards

Callmy were pleased to sponsor the University of Salford 2018 Create Student Awards. The award ceremony was held at Emirates Old Trafford, the home of Lancashire cricket and celebrated the achievements of students graduating from the School of Arts and Media.

Callmy were hosted by Trevor Jones (pictured right) who is the University’s Head of Security and a leading light in the new ProtectED Code of Practice, which is the gold standard for assessing the work done by universities to look after students’ safety, security and wellbeing. With this in mind, Salford deployed Callmy Alert to support the delivery of emergency communication during security situations and other incidents affecting the smooth running of University – on the day of the Create Student Awards a Callmy message had been rapidly delivered to staff and students, alerting them of a fallen tree blocking access to one of the main car parks.

Salford are now in the process of planning for their new student intake and are also upgrading their Callmy Alert service to support the personal SOS capability. This will help to deliver lone worker protection, student safety and travel security for study abroad initiatives.

Callmy would like to thank Salford for their continued support and also for their hospitality during the Create Awards 2018.
