The Easy-To-Use Mass Notification Tool

Pros

  • Provides the ability to communicate with a wide population in a very short amount of time and records the responses in real time
  • Enables communication to be conducted 'on the move' via the ManageBridge App
  • Is incredibly easy to use

Cons

  • The Broadcast Duration for email notifications is limited to 24 hours. This is NOT helpful in conducting test notifications as staff are not given enough time to verify their details by acknowledging the message. In a real emergency this timescale would be excessive, but for testing, it is limiting. Surely the 'window of opportunity' can be extended to 72 hours or beyond?
  • It would be useful if it offered a document storage facility from which critical documents could be selected for distribution rather than the user having to select them from their own storage locations (and upload them) each time that they are required.

Return on Investment

  • Positive in that we feel extremely confident of being able to communicate with staff quickly and effectively in an emergency situation.
  • Is an excellent tool for IT in their communications with staff on a secure and confidential basis.
