Various situations require organizations to notify many people quickly. These cases range from crises, such as an active shooter on campus or a building flood, to daily company updates, such as parking instructions or a weather-related closure. If a server goes offline at 3:00 a.m., someone needs to know immediately.
From the emergency to the everyday, at noon or midnight, schools, municipalities, and businesses need to quickly and efficiently communicate with their audiences and communities. Whether sent by a staffer during the day or automatically triggered by a sensor at midnight, there are many times when a group message needs to go out ASAP.
Mitel Revolution keeps people and organizations connected when they need it most. Revolution upgrades Mitel systems with new, critical capabilities for communicating promptly with emergency services (e.g., police, fire) and groups of parents, students, staff, or other stakeholders.
How Mitel Revolution Works
Mitel Revolution provides enhanced emergency notifications and real-time information using several methods. The result: On-premises and remote staff located virtually anywhere receive critical, accurate information and guidance quickly. The system can communicate with desktop PCs, desk phones, mobile phones, SMS text, intercom, paging systems, email, etc., to reach the widest possible audience with unprecedented speed.
Users can quickly send emergency alerts, mass notifications, and routine communications to a handful of contacts or thousands of recipients within seconds.
Schools: Communicate Everything from Emergencies to Schedule Changes
Schools often need to communicate with specific groups of stakeholders, such as parents or staff. Sometimes, especially in emergencies, a school may need to communicate with everyone.
The reason may be relatively benign, such as general information about an evening event or plans to repave the parking lot. Or the situation may be more urgent, such as a flood, a power failure, or a campus lockdown due to an active shooter or medical emergency.
Users can send alerts and other messages to select groups or the entire school community to whatever devices the recipients choose.
Municipalities: Notify Staff of Closures or Equipment Failures
Government agencies often need to notify some or all staff and stakeholders quickly and efficiently. Is the building closed because of weather, emergency road work, or a water main break? Has security been compromised? Is the temperature of an industrial freezer rising beyond the safe zone?
From routine announcements to emergency physical or virtual panic buttons, Mitel Revolution makes mass communication simple.
Organizations: Reach Staff and Stakeholders on Any Device
Instead of overhead announcements that staff may miss or not hear, Mitel Revolution can keep everyone informed. If a machine outage or a server malfunction occurs, the system can automatically inform the right personnel in seconds. The system can alert staff to spills, remind teams to take scheduled breaks, or even manage emergency evacuations.
Non-technical staff can easily set up Mitel Revolution, which has many common software integrations built in. Android and iPhone apps manage notifications and alerts on virtually all devices.
VOIP Networks can also program Mitel Revolution to work with software and hardware that connects to their Mitel technology (e.g., IoT devices, alarm systems, nurse call systems, etc.), creating a customized mass communications system for organizations of any type and size. If a security camera detects movement or a teacher needs to inform students and parents of a classroom event, a system with Mitel Revolution can get the word out quickly.

With fiscal years starting soon and the fall semester not far away, now is the perfect time for schools, municipalities, and other organizations to get a demo of Mitel Revolution. Mitel users can add sophisticated, flexible, scalable mass communications to their existing unified communications systems with a familiar, easy-to-use, non-technical interface.
Backed by VOIP Networks
All VOIP Networks clients receive U.S.-based, white-glove support 24/7/365, based on each organization’s unique needs. Technical staff can provide programming and other services to extend the capabilities of in-house staff and integrate Mitel Revolution and other technology with existing software and hardware. Design, set-up, and training are part of the package as well.
Most importantly, VOIP Networks clients enjoy all the benefits of a managed private cloud with multi-instance architecture and geo-redundant data centers. Customers share their servers with no other users, unlike multi-tenant architecture (UCaaS), and each user’s dedicated hardware has numerous redundant sites in geographically diverse across the U.S. and U.K.
