Emergency Notification & Management Solutions for Education

A school environment that is safe for students, staff, and property is vital for learning. In a diverse campus setting, there is no "one size fits all" communications method. The diverse population groups within a school setting make it necessary to deploy a layered and redundant communications strategy. Administration, faculty, staff, full time and part time students as well as parents must be reached anytime, anywhere, and with any device.

ERMS - in partnership with leading telephony providers such as Bell Canada - delivers enterprise class notification and emergency management solutions. Delivered as an on-demand, web-based subscription service, the solution supports all commonly used communications devices, including SMS. Equip your college or university with fast, reliable campus communication and full crisis response and control capability.
