David Baeder, President of BLI Messaging, is excited for both colleges and universities to start integrating this system into their emergency notification plan. “For this product, we tried to accommodate the mobility of both students and staff members while taking advantage of the cohesive school computer network by launching the desktop alert feature. This sophisticated desktop alert technology is the key ingredient to Campus Announcement’s success.”
