Text messages and emails can now automatically be created and sent to notify critical personnel that an outage has occurred and is affecting customers.
With OutageMessenger, you can customize your notification protocol in many ways, making it easier than ever to send text messages and emails to those who need to be aware of vital information. Texting is a highly visible medium, which allows almost instantaneous dissemination of information. The moment your Milsoft OMS software detects an outage, OutageMessenger can automatically initiate your pre-determined text message or email notifications. So, no matter where your team is, you can feel confident that they have been notified. Automatic text messaging and email? Doesn't get much easier than that!
