In an emergency, notifying key responders has traditionally been a slow, labor-intensive manual task, given that an operator or dispatcher can, on average, speak to only one responder per minute via telephone. Now Human Resources Technologies, Inc. offers MercAlert, a web-based, broadcast voice notification network designed to streamline critical communications. The centrally-activated application securely distributes critical or routine text notification messages via voice using global Internet and telephony networks. Using MercAlert's simple, password-protected interface, a user can create or recall a phone list, enter or select a pre-defined text message, and rapidly send the notification to all recipients from virtually anywhere in the world.
