Helicopter Services Company Improves Incident Response by 90 Percent With OnPage BlastIT
This post discusses the helicopter company’s past communication challenges, and how it improved its incident response by 90 percent with OnPage BlastIT mass notifications.
Previous Communication Challenges
Before BlastIT, the firm used to call each stakeholder individually, informing them about the situation in hand. This process wasted precious time, preventing stakeholders from addressing the critical situation promptly.
In the case of a helicopter-related accident, injured persons did not receive timely treatment following the major incident. During these dire situations, time would make the difference between life and death for impacted field workers or client members.
Worse yet, the firm was unable to meet its service-level agreements (SLAs), which established the responsibility for quick incident management and response. The firm’s inability to meet these SLAs resulted in hefty costs, tarnishing its business-client relationships in the process.
The organization required an advanced communication solution, offering mass messaging and alerting. This way, all stakeholders could be simultaneously alerted without delay or unnecessary lag time.
