Life Safety
Taking Notice of
What's New
in Notification
Mass notification
systems have
dramatically
changed. It's not
just getting live
audio messages
out, but more about
leveraging every
communication
available and having
every asset an
organization needs
at its fingertips to
respond to a crisis.
By Paul Shain
W
hen it comes to mass notification,
most integrators probably
think they have a pretty good
idea of what the market has to
offer. It's all about sending out text and audio
messages to as many people as an organization
needs to reach.
Five or even 10 years ago, that answer would
have been sufficient, but needs are changing
and so is the technology that addresses those
needs. Mass notification systems are no exception
and have evolved to help integrators
bring more to the table for the organizations
they work with.
Evolving Solutions
Let's start with the basics. Mass notification systems
offered an easy way to reach large groups
of people during an emergency. Typically, this
was done by leveraging an onsite phone or paging
system or using mass SMS text messaging
software. This is still the primary function of
mass notification, to deliver critical information
into the hands of those who need it as
quickly as possible.
So, what's changed? Organizations are realizing
it's not enough to simply send out a
message about an emergency. Critical events
require easy to use and effective solutions. If
an organization is using one system to send out
alerts, they might also need a handful of others
to get the insights they need as an event unfolds,
gather the right people together, and generate
an after-action report to determine what

worked and what didn't. This is hardly efficient
during a crisis and can hinder an organization's
ability to keep everyone out of harm's way.
That's why mass notification systems are
beginning to offer more to end users, and integrators
need to be aware of these changes to
stay on the leading edge of the market. Few organizations
want to choose between, much less
manage two separate systems that handle their
on-premises and mobile alerts. Nor do they
want to be beholden to a specific type of phone
system to deliver their alerts.
Expanding Usage
Flexibility is key, which is why mass notification
systems are going out of their way to
provide a host of integrations that can fit into
most existing environments. Whether an organization
has moved to a Cloud-calling solution
or wants to connect with desktop computers
and digital signage, in addition to more traditional
delivery methods like IP speakers and
paging systems, mass notification tools are
helping organizations use what they have and
leverage it for safety.
