VoiceALERT OmniMessaging system for Education
Higher Education
Safety and prevention as well as immediate and appropriate response to campus emergencies are a top priority for parents, students, educators, and administrators. The right campus alert system provides the critical communication capabilities required to effectively manage a crisis and save lives. The VoiceALERT OmniMessaging system enables colleges and universities to:
- Assemble and coordinate campus security and crisis response teams
Issue critical voice and text communications to campus security, university crisis response teams, and external law enforcements agencies as soon as an incident occurs. Automated phone conference bridging empowers colleges and universities to initiate an instant conference call with key team members for fast response.
- Notify students, faculty, staff, and parents in minutes—no matter where they are
One person, with one call or a few clicks of the mouse, can send a message to thousands of people simultaneously—all within a matter of minutes. You can access the system from anywhere—no need to be in your office or even in front of a computer. The VoiceALERT mass notification is so easy to use that even a non-technical person can send a message effortlessly.
- Reach students on popular devices with voice and text simultaneously
VoiceALERT's web-based mass notification service enables colleges and universities to effectively communicate with students, staff, faculty, and parents in minutes via all contact methods—including those most popular with Generation Y students, such as cell phones, BlackBerry® devices, email, text messaging and instant messaging—increasing the likelihood that messages will be delivered and understood by those located on-campus and off-campus at any hour of the day or night.
- Send personalized messages recorded in your own voice to thousands
Research shows that people are more likely to take action when a message comes from a trusted source. With the VoiceALERT OmniMessaging system for colleges and universities, any authorized person can record custom greetings and messages in his or her own voice. Create custom recordings on-the-fly for immediate use or for use at a later date.
- Make sure students and others receive your message
To deliver your message, the VoiceALERT OmniMessaging system cycles through every contact path available for each person you want to contact. Only when the person confirms receipt of the message—or when you have scheduled the broadcast to terminate—does the system stop. Real-time reporting shows administrators at a glance how many people have received the message and how and when they were contacted.

PK-12 Schools
Communication to parents and guardians is essential for promoting school involvement and peace of mind. From emergency situations that require an immediate and effective response to routine communications like testing schedules, activities, and fundraisers, schools need a dependable and affordable way to communicate.
Employ a flexible, cost-effective solution designed specifically for schools
VoiceALERT's OmniMessaging School Edition was designed with teachers and administrators in mind. Our current school customers find the interface extremely intuitive and user-friendly, with teachers, administrators and staff fully trained and ready to use the system in minutes. VoiceALERT's OmniMessaging School Edition allows school administrators to:
- Notify parents, guardians, faculty, and staff in minutes— no matter where they are.
- In an emergency, communication delays can be a safety hazard and a logistical nightmare. It can take 4 - 6 hours for an average school to contact every parent, and some parents will never be tracked down. VoiceALERT's OmniMessaging School Edition is designed to locate system users in seconds – whether at work, home, or elsewhere – via all major communication devices, such as phone, cell, fax, email, and PDA. The system will continue to make contacts until a confirmation receipt is sent back to school administrators.
- Affordably and efficiently deliver information on a regular basis.
- Schools can disseminate in minutes everything from report card notices to truancy reports to parent-teacher conference requests. This quick, efficient, and reliable communication ensures parents, guardians, faculty, and staff always have the most up-to-date information while saving the school administrative costs and record-keeping.
- Eliminate paperwork and save time.
- School administrators and staff spend many hours calling parents, sending home reminders (such as notices about field trips, sporting events, fundraisers, club activities, and school lunches), and scheduling substitute teachers to accommodate unexpected absences. Automate these time-consuming processes to improve communication levels while freeing up your time for more important activities.
- Keep parent and guardian contact information at your fingertips.
- Maintaining up-to-date contact information for students and their parents and guardians requires significant time and effort. With the VoiceALERT mass notification system, schools may either use VoiceALERT’s tools to update contact data from their Student Information System or give parents and guardians the ability to update their own contact information, improving the quality and accuracy of your contact database so you can always reach parents or guardians when you need to.
