By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributor
Acree Daily and Twenty First Century Communications (TFCC) have partnered to expand their safety, security, and communications offerings.
Acree Daily is a systems integrator for commercial electronic security, emergency notification, health care, fire safety and media systems, and TFCC specializes in emergency notification solutions.
Acree Daily is the distributer of the REACT system, which has the ability to provide notification to large and targeted audiences through a wide variety of media to a number of portable and fixed devices. REACT can also automate notification over systems through Acree Daily integration.
Under the agreement, Twenty First Century Communications will allow Acree Daily to provide a comprehensive Mass Emergency Notification System. This will be achieved through the integrated REACT Systems product in conjunction with TFCC's Universal Communications System (UCS) and Criscom Mass Notification Systems.
These technologies will allow emergency management to instantaneously communicate through network communications, voice, text, email, rich text, live video, prerecorded video, prerecorded voice, scripted message and interactive messaging all concurrently.
TFCC's systems can send thousands of outbound messages in just minutes, both to employees and the general public. The company powers AlertSanDiego, San Diego County's mass notification system which helped safely evacuate over 500,000 people during the 2007 San Diego wildfires.
Jim Kennedy, CEO of Twenty First Century Communications finds Acree Daily Integrated Systems to be an ideal partner of TFCC and believes they will together bring to market a complete set of systems and features.
Echoing Kennedy’s sentiments, Tom Clancy, president of Acree Daily Integrated Systems said that the use of TFCC’s services and technologies will allow them to provide their corporate, educational, and healthcare clients an all-encompassing emergency notification and critical communications system.
By leveraging many layers of communications technology, they can reach individuals in multiple modes to dynamically notify and manages emergency situations.
“If we save one life, this partnership will have paid dividends.”
