/24-7PressRelease/ - NORTH QUINCY, MA, June 19, 2007 - By now everyone is familiar with what happened on the Virginia Tech Campus. Many people thought: "If only they had warned somebody;" "If only they were able to get the word out faster." In response to this, Psychsoftpc announces the availability of their new Psyberlert Emergency Cell Phone Text Messaging System, a pre-configured computer, database and software solution which will be owned and controlled by the purchasing institution.
When the unthinkable happens, school administrators need a quick, user-friendly way of getting information out to students, faculty and staff. E-mail is a possibility, but students, faculty and staff might not be in front of a computer or they might not check their e-mail regularly. But most of them have cell phones with them all the time. Text messaging to these cell phones offers another medium of contact in emergency situations if there was a means of utilizing it.
Now there is a way to use cell phones to get the word out. The Psyberlert Emergency Cell Phone Text Messaging System from Psychsoftpc will allow school administrators to store all cell phone contact data in a SQL database, enter messages quickly and broadcast them to every member of that list easily. All that is needed is this system, an Internet connection and a contract with one of the many Cellular Gateway Providers and they're good to go. The Psyberlert Emergency Cell Phone Text Messaging System is designed for ease of use. It comes with two 500 gig SATA hard drives in RAID configuration for increased reliability. Since it is a system that is owned by the school, administrators do not need to worry about a service provider losing data, going out of business, being unreachable or refusing to respond due to contract disputes. And since they control the data, privacy issues for students, faculty and staff are addressed. No possibility of an outsider accidentally sharing cell numbers with someone else.
Now school administrators can have the ability to reach folks in an emergency when they need to and under their control. Of course, this is something everyone at Psychsoftpc hopes never has to be used, but they are making it available just in case. And, unlike a service, all this is under the school's control.
The Psyberlert Emergency Cell Phone Text Messaging System is available from Psychsoftpc (http://www.psychsoftpc.com). More information can be had by phone at 617 471-8733.
