Amcom Software has released Amcom e.Notify 4.5, a next-generation advance in mass notification and emergency management technology.  This release continues and expands on the company’s platform of solutions for managing safety and health issues.  As mass notification has matured, organizations are finding that they need to surpass simple blast notifications and want new capabilities.

“Customers are telling us they want to do more than simply ‘ring the bell’ to tell their employees, guests, patients, students, or response teams that there is a problem,” said Amcom CEO Chris Heim.  “They need to know if the victim or caller is safe or in trouble.  They need a focused dialog with emergency teams to ensure situational awareness, coordinated response, and risk management.  They need to escalate and communicate in many different ways in order to make sure teams are handling assigned tasks via standardized procedures and are aware of dependencies.  This release of e.Notify takes the next step into ‘Mass Notification 2.0’ to help connect everybody involved in managing an emergency so they can work quickly, with better information and coordination, to solve the problem at-hand.”

Amcom Software received approval from the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) of the U.S. Department of Defense for their communications software suite.  By achieving JITC approval, Amcom’s Smart Center, Smart Console, Computer-Telephony Integration (CTI), Smart Web, Smart Speech and e.Notify applications have been shown to provide the highest levels of Information Assurance (IA) security as required by the U.S. Government and the U.S. Military.

“This is great news for Amcom and for all our customers,” said Greg Stinson, Amcom Vice President of Development.  “No other provider can match our extensive range of applications with government-approved security and interoperability.”

To qualify for JITC and IA approval, Amcom Software completed rigorous federal government testing and compliance processes under real-life conditions.  According to JITC, their system tests national security and IT systems to show they have the ability to provide and accept data, information, materials and services; including both the technical exchange of information and the end-to-end operational effectiveness of that exchange.  JITC serves the Defense Information Systems Agency, combatant commands, the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, allies, coalition partners and commercial vendors.

“We’re thrilled to have again achieved this high level approval.” said Chris Heim, Amcom CEO.  “We view JITC and IA approval as a key way to prove our capabilities to all our customers, both inside and outside the government.”
