It can be hard to coordinate people. Everyday inconveniences can be costly for businesses that depend on communication.
One employee might encounter so much traffic that she misses an important meeting. One employee might arrive late and not realize that the meeting location has changed.
Poor communication between the office and corporate can result in mistakes, loss of profits, and low employee morale. Businesses need to develop strategic communication plans as they grow. Many corporations communicate today using technology that was originally created to help emergency-relief organisations and governments.
This technology, known as the Immediate Response Information System or IRIS, allows organizations to simplify large-scale group communications. IRIS allows you to contact thousands of people quickly via your cell phone, PDAs or pagers.
If someone calls or e mails an alert to IRIS, it creates and sends a single message in less than 30 seconds. You can send messages from any Internet-connected phone or computer.
This service can translate messages in English, Spanish and Chinese as well as French, Korean, Portuguese and German.
IRIS ensures that all people will receive group communications. It will continue calling phone numbers until the message is received. IRIS will verify that alerts have been received.
IRIS can be used by businesses to send emergency information to employees, fire and police departments, and building managers. It is also cost-effective enough to be used for non-emergencies. IRIS can notify employees about traffic changes, adverse weather conditions and building maintenance information. It even has the ability to alert them to any stock or sports news.
IRIS does not require any software, hardware, or system installation. This makes it cost-effective and simple for companies to streamline their internal-organizational communications.
