Reach Students, Faculty, and Staff in Minutes
The 3n InstaCom™ Campus Alert mass notification system enables colleges and universities to effectively communicate with students, staff, faculty, and parents in minutes via all contact methods—including those most popular with students, such as text messaging, cell phones, BlackBerry® devices, email, 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.
The 3n mass notification 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 enforcement 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 reach thousands of people simultaneously with a single, consistent message or with different messages tailored to the information needs of each group, 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—and reach students, faculty, and others both on campus and off campus. The 3n mass notification system is so easy to use that even a non-technical person can send a message effortlessly.
- 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 3n mass notification 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 3n mass notification 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.
