On-call paging is a method of alerting on-call personnel to critical incidents and tasks that require immediate attention. These systems are used across several industries where designated individuals need to be available outside of working hours to respond to time-sensitive emergencies. Some of the key aspects of an on-call paging app include immediate alerting, escalation capabilities, digital scheduling functions, and post-incident reporting.
At a Glance | 4 Major Problems With Pagers
Antiquated Pagers Are Holding you Back …
On-call paging applications has come a long way and traditional pagers no longer cut it, especially with flaws like:
- Dependency on an infrastructure that is on the verge of being sunset
- Limited signal or range, preventing on-call responders from receiving pages outside of specific grounds
- Lack of encryption and security
- Inability to include contextual information on time-sensitive incidents
Unlike the ’90s, modern response teams require an intelligent solution that streamlines team communications during emergencies while providing persistent mobile alerting to enhance incident resolution.
