SAN DIEGO, June 10, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MIR3, Inc., the innovator of real-time Intelligent Notification (IN™) and response technology, today announced that Associated Banc-Corp, one of the top 50 publicly traded U.S. bank holding companies, is adopting Intelligent Notification Standard™ edition and the Intelligent Notification Mobile app as tools for business continuity and crisis management.
With over 4500 employees dispersed over more than 200 locations, Associated Banc-Corp needs to keep lines of communication open in the case of a business interruption. Intelligent Notification Standard edition and the Mobile app give the institution's administrators a way to sound the alarm to their dispersed crisis management team and bring them together on a conference call. If the team decides to expand the notification to more staff, they can choose from a series of pre-prepared messages addressing common scenarios that can easily be modified to suit the situation at hand. Messages can be targeted to specific groups or locations and are customized to show they are coming from the bank's Technology Service Desk. Staff has been trained in the new system to allow for swift communications.
"Associated Banc-Corp is following in the steps of many other financial institutions in acting to ensure greater safety for both their staff and their financial systems by deploying the Standard edition and the Mobile app," says Amir Moussavian, president and CEO of MIR3. "Their commitment to protecting their assets and resources is smart and laudable."
Intelligent Notification Standard is ideal for companies that need a full-featured yet streamlined notification system with sophisticated data management. When business continuity is compromised, the Standard edition provides automatic notification that can be targeted to the people most likely to fix the problem, taking into consideration their personal schedules and actual locations. Intelligent Notification Mobile lets smartphone users create and send alerts, including recorded voice messages, to pre-defined groups or individuals directly from a mobile application on their phone.
