Leading provider of paging solutions to showcase its flare suite at leading Business Continuity Management event

London, 5 November, 2009 - PageOne, the UK’s leading provider of mobile messaging solutions to the public and enterprise sectors, today announced its attendance at the Business Continuity Management (BCM) World Conference and Exhibition (www.bcm2009.com), which takes place at the Novotel London West, Hammersmith, 11th and 12th November.

PageOne is recognised as the leading provider of secure, resilient and robust messaging services that are at the heart of Business Continuity Planning for both businesses and public sector institutions that ensure communication with staff, customers and suppliers is maintained after unforeseen disruptions, to enable the protection of a company’s reputation and help them get back up and running as soon as possible.

PageOne will present “flare: Resilient and reliable messaging for critical communications” at 5.25pm on Wednesday 11th November, showcasing how The British Red Cross utilise PageOne’s flagship Business Continuity product, flare, to communicate with its first responders during crisis situations, replacing the previous “call-round” system it used to use, which would cost vital time in responses to crisis situations. In addition PageOne will illustrate how flare can achieve significant time saving and cost benefits when integrated into existing Business Continuity plans.

flare has been specifically designed for businesses and public sector institutions that need a highly reliable messaging infrastructure in place for dealing with potential major incidents. Recent additions to this market-leading suite include voiceblast and locate. They will join escalate, an event notification system that automatically forwards SMS text messages to members of a predefined fallback list, and areyousafe, a real-time staff check in and acknowledgement service.

voiceblast enables organisations to further expand the power of group messaging by adding a voice messaging capability to their critical communications plan. With secure pin access and a dedicated ‘blast’ number, administrators can quickly and simultaneously send a personalised voice message to a landline or mobile number of thousands of people within an organisation from any touch-tone telephone. Features include the ability for the recipient to accept or reject a ‘blast’ message and real-time graphical reporting of the number of calls accepted, rejected and busy.

Locate uses GPS to allow administrators to establish the position of individuals or groups quickly and easily. The geographic location of where each message was received can be displayed graphically, providing an invaluable facility for locating staff.

“We are delighted to attend the inaugural BCM World Conference,” says Chris Jones, CEO, PageOne Communications. “A resilient communications system is a crucial component of such a plan and flare’s secure web-based messaging service and unique IVR platform should make it the system of choice for organisations across the UK”.
