IT Alerting, simplify incidents in an emergency
Efficiently manage incidents, quickly alert your IT teams during emergencies with our IT alerting software
How can you expedite IT alerting during a crisis?
IT Services often have associated Service Level Agreements (SLAs) which have financial implications if breached. An unplanned outage at a data centre can cost over £5,000 a minute. The quicker responders and stakeholders receive critical alerts, the quicker they can begin to respond to the incident, and get things up and running again.
When a crisis incident starts, every second counts Crises Control can make sure your response teams receive an alert on their Phone, SMS, and App no matter where they are in the world.
Crises Control can:
- Simplify incident alert information from your monitoring and issue tracking tools into meaningful, actionable notifications and tasks.
- Engage the required people, gain situational perspective and trigger resolution steps directly from notifications.
- Give auditable visibility of how incidents were responded to help your teams make improvements for next time.
How Crises Control helps in an incident
Get information out to the IT response team faster
When a crisis hits, and an emergency alert is released, Crises Control will automatically alert all responders through multiple channels until they acknowledge receipt.
As responders acknowledge the alert, they are added to a virtual ‘war room’, and connected to the virtual command and control centre. One click, and all responders can be called into a conference call.
Faster incident resolution
In the heat of a crisis, everyone needs to know what their tasks are without thinking. While paper or server based plans may set out those tasks, they may not be available during a crisis.
The Crises Control Incident Plan Builder and Task Manager bring incident management into the Crises Control platform, enabling workflows, task assignments, time based escalation settings, and other digital assets to be disseminated to responders quickly, so that everyone knows their roles. The Task Manager tracks every task, and records responses for improvement activity.
Keep stakeholders informed
Control the narrative, and ensure that the right messages are released to such stakeholders as employees, decision makers and managers, legal and compliance officers and bodies, and even the public. With Crises Control’s platform you can ensure that the right information is released to each group.
Gain performance insights
Every message, alert, task, decision, and response during a crisis is recorded so that you can analyse performance for improvements, or gather proof for compliance and post even analysis sessions.
