Standard Conference Calls Can Be Ineffective in Emergency Situations

 

New Hope, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/26/2016 -- Emergencies are unpredictable which is why preparation is critical. Time is of the essence when it comes to protecting a company's most valuable assets during an emergency, and communication is cited and the key factor in prompt and efficient resolution. Any issue from impending weather to power or internet outages to security breaches or water leaks requires getting the right specialists and decision makers on the phone in a timely matter to determine what is happening and the best course of action. The antiquated conference call with dial-in numbers and PIN's is not able to address the need for instant and ubiquitous communication in these situations - which is why ZipBridge's emergency communication solutions were developed.

The key to handling emergencies is to be properly prepared to react and respond in a calm and calculated manner and avoid panicking due to lack of access to information and input. Many businesses have basic protocols in place for responding to an emergency, but fine tuning the process is an ongoing exercise. One of the most important things an organization can implement comes from ZipBridge, a company that specializes in emergency response solutions and offers a tool that provides critical communication services to schools and businesses across the country.

The main difference between ZipBridge and standard conference calling solutions is that the involved parties need no advance knowledge of the need for a call because ZipBridge calls out to the participants. This makes it super easy for the specialists needing to be involved to join a call – they just answer their phone. This results in faster call setup with complete team participation because no time is wasted sending out emails or text messages with call-in information, which at best take an effort to respond to and at worst are ignored completely.

With ZipBridge, one party simply initiates the call, and all the designated group members are called and bridged together as they answer to begin planning their response immediately. Members of the group can set a unique ringtone for incoming ZipBridge calls to add another layer of communication indicating that the call is critical and needs to be answered. Instant team communication without advance notice, awareness or complicated call-in procedures are what separates ZipBridge from standard conference calls and facilitates communication in an emergency when time and full team participation are critical.
