Benefits
Critical events or emergencies require communicating a clear and concise message, communicating fast, and most importantly communicating fast to key people. MobAlert will satisfy the needs of all organizations in Haiti with crisis management programs (Government, private sector, diplomatic representations, NGOs), whose security is among top priorities. MobInfo will respect the confidentiality and privacy of numbers in its MobAlert programs and promises not to utilize these numbers for any commercial reasons.
SMS are able to reach thousands of individuals quasi -simultaneously. SMS has the advantage to reach individuals, who are constantly handling their mobile phones, rather than fixed workstations. Moreover, SMS are stocked on the cell phone, until the user decides to delete it, and have a higher resiliency than oral message. The only alternative for crisis communication is call trees which are time-consuming and involve too many layers. Emails are an alternative but do not reach an individual, only a workstation and Internet enabled devices such as with Blackberrys and PDA , useful but rare in Haiti.
In case of a predetermined event like mail delivery, transport delay, promotions, mobile users can be notified directly and automatically on their mobile. This service will bring a high value-added to your clientele owning a mobile phone.
