Multi-Language Features of MIR3 Intelligent Notification Extend Reach for Global Operations and Citizen Emergency Notification

2007-03-21T15:54:00.000-07:00

New Features of MIR3 IN v2.7 Support Multiple Languages, Expanded Import/Export Capabilities and Enhanced Usability

San Diego – September 17, 2006 – Attendees at this week’s Disaster Recovery Journal (DRJ) Conference in San Diego, Calif. will see demonstrations of the integrated multi-language features of the new MIR3™ Intelligent Notification™ (IN) v2.7 platform. This new capability enables Global 2000 companies to meet the communication challenges of international operations and government agencies to communicate with non-English speaking citizens during emergency situations in their native language.

MIR3 IN v2.7 also offers enhanced import/export capabilities and a host of data management and usability features designed to lower communication costs and shorten notification cycles.

Multiple-Language Support Broadens the Reach

In addition to two-way communication to multiple users and devices across all communication platforms, MIR3 IN v2.7 now gives instant access to multi-language capabilities. Used to communicate important enterprise messaging such as an organization’s policies, as well as alert citizens during life-and-death emergencies, the latest version of the MIR3 IN platform supports English (U.S.), English (U.K.), Spanish, French, and German.

Today, most automated telephony systems prompt a non-English speaking user to “press number 1” to hear a recorded message in another language. Normally only one language is offered as an option. In contrast, the MIR3 IN v2.7 platform sends notifications in one of five language options, which is automatically determined by the preferred language of each potential recipient.

Setup is easy. A language option for each recipient is selected on the user profile. Notifications or emergency alerts are created in all supported relevant languages. If delivered via voice, the MIR3 IN v2.7 platform uses the TTS (Text-to-Speech) engine appropriate for the selected language for the associated message. Response options and prompts that direct an action from the recipient are delivered in the same language as the message.

“During emergencies, it’s vital that local and federal agencies communicate with citizens in their native language to reduce misunderstanding and panic,” said Amir Moussavian, president and CEO at MIR3. “Companies that are expanding into emerging global markets also need to easily communicate in the languages of their regional and country offices. The multiple-language, interactive MIR3 IN v2.7 platform is the ideal medium for disseminating and tracking critical information to and from all communication modalities worldwide.”

Powerful Import/Export Functionality Saves Time

The MIR3 IN v2.7 platform also offers a powerful automated approach to importing and exporting contact lists from and to other applications. The new functionality reduces the time it takes to “scrub” data or add missing data after an import or export.

The MIR3 multi-modal, interactive IN platform is the leading consolidated enterprise-grade platform for the rapidly emerging Enterprise Intelligent Notification market.

EOCs have long served as communications, command and control centers for first responders, hospitals, municipal, county, state and federal law enforcement and public works agencies to collaborate during incident response and recovery. Enterprise sectors with critical operations such as utilities, oil and gas, transportation, telecommunications and others are now embracing EOCs as they strive to ensure business continuity in a natural disaster, industrial accident, act of terrorism or other contingency.

ESi’s WebEOC, the world's first Web-based emergency management communications system, provides cost-effective, real-time information sharing. By linking local, state, national, and even worldwide incident stakeholders and information sources together, WebEOC facilitates decision-making in planning, emergency and recovery situations. The result is secure, real-time access to state and national weather trends, satellite images, mapping information, details of operations in other jurisdictions, local, regional and even national resource status and other data vital to the efficient management of any contingency.

ESi WebEOCAlert powered by MIR3 will allow business continuity managers, emergency managers and first responders the speed and ability to reach more people more quickly on more communication devices than ever before, including cell phones, satellite phones, land lines, two-way SMS, email and PDAs. Additionally, the enhanced solution will offer improved accountability through post-event audit reporting and provide detailed information such as who received what notification, at what time and how the response was executed.

“We found MIR3’s emergency notification technology to be superior in providing the most powerful alert and notification capabilities via multi-modal devices,” said Paul Butler, ESi director. “With this partnership, we will greatly improve the way emergency operation centers in both government and enterprise settings communicate and respond during times of crisis.”

MIR3 chief strategy officer Frank Mahdavi said, “MIR3 focuses on bringing innovative technology that drives efficiencies and solves communications challenges for business continuity. We firmly believe that improving business continuity communications touches on an organization’s ability to remain competitive and innovative. As ESi WebEOC is among the most widely-used and adopted crisis information management systems, this technology collaboration will greatly benefit incident managers and continuity planners and extend the capabilities of both incident management and communications disciplines.”

In keeping with the WebEOC product line, the technology integration will provide an easily deployed solution requiring minimal training. The new ESi WebEOCAlert powered by MIR3 will be released by the end of 2006.

WebEOC is ESi’s industry leading, web-based crisis information management software, which provides emergency response teams, decision-makers and organizations real-time access to critical information that can be simultaneously shared during the planning, response and recovery phases of an event.

Shure Chooses MIR3’s inEnterprise for Company-Wide Business Continuity and Emergency Communications

2007-03-21T15:44:00.000-07:00

San Diego, California – January 18, 2006 – MIR3™, the technology leader in Intelligent Notification™ solutions, today announced that Shure® Incorporated, a global leader in audio electronics, has contracted with MIR3 to provide notification services. Shure will utilize MIR3’s inEnterprise, which works in conjunction with standard corporate databases such as LDAP, Microsoft® Active Directory®, Oracle®, Peoplesoft®, SunGard® Paragon™ and Strohl Systems® LDRPS®, and allows organizations to consolidate communications across all divisions into a single Intelligent Notification platform. The ability to integrate across divisions simplifies the deployment process and decreases the upkeep time spent on maintaining the integrity of the notification system.

inEnterprise will allow Shure’s designated personnel to notify hundreds of employees simultaneously on any device, including landlines, mobile phones, pagers, PDAs and email, about weather-related office closure information, to convey company news and announcements, as well as for high-priority communications that could affect business continuity in the event of a regional or facility-related crisis.

According to Shure’s Chief Information Officer, Paul Erbach, MIR3’s business reputation for supplying top-notch customer and technical support, as well as the proven reliability of MIR3’s Intelligent Notification technology, were the key reasons that Shure named MIR3 as its notification service provider.

“We needed a technology solution that would allow us to reach all of our associates in the event of a crisis. Of all the systems we tested, and we did test quite a few, MIR3’s notification was the only one that returned a hundred percent of the notifications successfully,” said Erbach. “It also offered more features than the other service providers which gives us the option of utilizing MIR3 in other departments and applications within Shure. That flexibility was very appealing to us.”

inEnterprise features MIR3’s Enterprise Access Control (EAC™), which brings a new level of security to enterprise-wide communications. MIR3’s EAC allows designated users, defined by their role and those security attributes, to send time-sensitive communications only to their defined departmental sphere of influence. It increases the level of accountability and security required of high priority communications for government, military and globally distributed organizations with stringent security policies in IT, corporate security, supply chain / logistics, human resources, and sales divisions.

“MIR3 is extremely pleased to add Shure to our growing list of customers,” said Margi Schmidt, Senior Vice President of Business Development at MIR3. “After 80 years in business, Shure has become an established, globally renowned company in the audio electronics industry. Shure is a also a technology innovator that reap the benefits of our advanced notification technology to make communicating with its employees more effective and in turn, will be able to service its customer base more efficiently.”

New White Paper Describes How Intelligent Notification Systems Enable Greater Enterprise Innovation, Increased Speed-to-Market and Reduced Operational

2007-03-21T14:42:00.000-07:00

Intelligent Notification Leader MIR3 Offers Technology White Paper to Global 2000 Senior IT Executives and their Staffs

San Diego – March 21, 2006 – MIR3™, the technology leader in Intelligent Notification™ solutions for enterprises, has released a technical white paper that demonstrates how Global 2000 companies can implement a consolidated solution that leverages existing communication infrastructures to improve responsiveness, productivity and efficiencies across the enterprise. Entitled “Increasing the Speed of Enterprise Communication through Consolidation,” the paper is written for senior executives and staff members in enterprises that have deployed or are considering Intelligent Notification tools.

The white paper can be downloaded free from www.mir3.com/mbpr1.

Widely publicized security breaches, terrorism threats and natural disasters have put the spotlight on tools that enable organizations to ensure business continuity. At the same time, companies are looking for ways to bridge different communication modalities during crises and consolidate pre-existing communication processes on an everyday basis.

Previously deployed only for emergency notification in Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR), IT service monitoring and help desk point solutions, Intelligent Notification tools are now being used by Global 2000 companies for universal enterprise-wide communications among thousands of users. By using an Intelligent Notification system for daily communication and collaboration, companies can increase reliability, asset usability and can significantly reduce cycle times for critical decisions and internal/external communications.

Citing real-life examples, analyst research reports and expert opinions, the MIR3 white paper describes recent trends that mark the beginning of a worldwide enterprise communication revolution:

- Companies are now deploying one consolidated notification platform instead of compromising on legacy point solutions that are not easily integrated within current infrastructures.

- Because of overuse and abuse, email is no longer as effective as it once was for organizing and communicating the critical daily operations of a business. Email also represents a single point of failure in enterprise communication.

- An enterprise-wide interactive notification platform addresses the shortcomings of email and reduces the risks encountered in day-to-day operations as well as those associated with disasters and crises.

- Agile, innovative communication options, standardized practices and auditability features within an enterprise-wide Intelligent Notification platform result in a higher ROI on the existing infrastructure, increased efficiencies, and better control of costs, among other benefits.

“Business consultants and industry analysts view innovation and control as the most strategic requirements for long-term success of an enterprise,” said Amir Moussavian, president and CEO at MIR3. “This white paper was developed specifically for executives looking for innovative ways to leverage their existing infrastructure to improve communications across the enterprise. Maximizing what they already have in place through new delivery methods supports enterprise objectives for both innovation and cost control.”

MIR3’s Intelligent Notification Service Enables the Jurupa Community Services District to Alert Thousands of Customers about Drinking Water Precaution

2007-03-21T14:13:00.000-07:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Diego, California – September 27, 2005 -- MIR3™, the technology leader in Intelligent Notification solutions, today announced that the Jurupa Community Services District in Mira Loma, California, has contracted MIR3’s notification services in order to send more than 14,000 water customers immediate, high-priority notifications about the status of water wells at the District’s water treatment plant.

On July 8, Jurupa faced a serious emergency when they experienced technical problems at its water treatment plant and two of the wells went down. Jurupa had to rely upon a phone message machine and local residents walking door-to-door to deliver fliers that informed water customers about the well issues.

The notification of the more than 14,000 customers was a slow and tedious process requiring help from volunteer staff over a two-day period. Jurupa decided that a more effective method of notifying its water customers was required for high-priority, or emergency situations. After researching available options, Jurupa staff decided that MIR3’s automated, two-way interactive notification system ensured that all customers would receive the notification alerts. Within one day of contacting MIR3, Jurupa was able to successfully send 28,000 notifications to repeat earlier alerts sent via phone and by door-to-door fliers.

“We were very pleased to help Jurupa get critical warnings out to their customers in such a short period of time,” said Margi Schmidt, VP of Business Development at MIR3. “Our Intelligent Notification technology was designed just for this purpose: to quickly enable the delivery of notifications on a massive scale that issue warnings or instructions in the event of a disaster or emergency.”

“The fact that inAlertCenter is extremely easy to use and records the success of calls sent and received was very important to us when choosing a notification system,” said Sue Connell, the Emergency Management Coordinator at Tampa Electric. “With the series of severe hurricanes we’ve had recently, it was imperative that we have a notification system in place in order to quickly communicate between departments and in order to speed hurricane restoration efforts.”

inAlertCenter features call bridging into call centers and conference calls; find/follow recipients based on their device priority and calendar schedule; complete 128-bit SSL security encryption and authentication; recorded voice or text-to-speech options; detailed reporting and metrics to determine the delivery success of outbound notifications and cascading of new notifications by recipients.

Tampa Electric joins a growing list of public sector and private organizations, such as the City of Miami, South Mississippi Electric, ImpactWeather and the Calcasieu Police Jury in Louisiana that already utilize MIR3’s Intelligent Notification for high-priority communications, emergency preparedness, business continuity and disaster recovery purposes.

“Tampa Electric is one of the many organizations that we were able to help prepare for the onslaught of hurricanes they experienced in the Southeast – both this year and last,” said Margi Schmidt, Senior Vice President of Business Development at MIR3. “We are pleased to help Tampa Electric get inAlertCenter up and running quickly with systematic, automated SAP database updates in order to make communicating company-wide before and during emergencies more efficient and much more manageable for its staff.”

MIR3 inTechCenter is First IT Machine-to-Machine Notification Platform Supporting Multiple Communication Modalities

2007-03-21T13:41:00.000-07:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

inTechCenter v2.0 Extends IT Reach; Sends Alerts from the Network to Any Type of Device; Locates Response Staff Based on Time/Day;

Supports Long Message SMS, Two-Way SMS and TAP

San Diego – March 28, 2006 – To help IT departments reduce administrative and operational costs while shortening the problem resolution process, MIR3™ has expanded the integration and communication capabilities of the MIR3 Intelligent Notification™ (IN) platform designed for network operations centers, call centers, help desks and IT departments. The latest release of this product, which is called inTechCenter™ v2.0, is the first machine-to-machine notification system designed for network managers that automatically sends notifications to multiple types of communication devices when critical issues on the network occur.

Additionally, inTechCenter v2.0 introduces rotational scheduling capabilities that use the time and day schedules of shift workers and on-call IT response teams to determine when and where to send notifications. It also provides two-way SMS and long message SMS and builds on the core capabilities of all MIR3 IN products by including support for the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) and several other enhancements.

“The new integration and communication features of inTechCenter v2.0 enable IT departments to extend their reach when a problem on the network occurs and to more easily craft custom solutions based on the company’s specific needs and unique set of applications,” said Amir Moussavian, president and CEO at MIR3. “These enhancements demonstrate MIR3’s continued commitment to enriching the technology of the MIR3 Intelligent Notification products.”

Machine-to-Machine Notifications Using Multiple Communication Devices

Legacy machine-to-machine alerting systems typically send only an email notice when something goes wrong. In contrast, inTechCenter v2.0 enables automatic Intelligent Notification of designated IT staff on virtually any type of communication device, including email, SMS, satellite, landline and wireless phones, TDD/TYY devices, pagers and PDAs. If an employee is not able to be located on his/her preferred device, the message is sent to the same person on a different device. This process continues until someone on the designated troubleshooting team responds.

Additional new functionality enables legacy network monitoring system alerts to be piped to the IN platform via a command line interface. The integration of IT monitoring applications such as intrusion detection and network management software with multi-modal devices extends the reach of network managers during critical events. The end result is faster notification of personnel and resolution of the problem, better customer service and increased business productivity.

Rotational Scheduler Knows Which IT Guru to Contact Based on Time/Day

The rotational scheduler feature of inTechCenter v2.0 links IT personnel to specific work schedules and triggers automatic notifications based on these schedules. When inTechCenter receives an error from a server or system, it notes the day and time and sends an Intelligent Notification to the appropriate schedule, which gets passed to the on-call team. This reduces delivery and response time and eliminates erroneous messages being sent to the wrong employees.

Other New Features Build on Core Functionality

Building on its core capabilities, inTechCenter v.2.0 also provides:

Support for Two-Way SMS - Users can close the loop using text messages to respond to Intelligent Notifications via SMS.
Support for Long Messaging SMS – Intelligent Notifications support messages up to 4000 characters using standard SMS devices.
Support for Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) - TAP protocol supports the sending of notifications to any pager worldwide and further extends inTechCenter’s multi-modal capabilities.

Founded in 1999, today MIR3 has more than 130 Global 2000 and Fortune 500 customers. The MIR3 multi-modal, interactive IN platform is the leading consolidated enterprise-grade platform for the rapidly emerging Enterprise Intelligent Notification market.
