Rave Mobile Safety Introduces Rave Alert 4.0 which Centralizes Emergency Alerting Through Seamless Systems' Integration and Increased Delivery Modes
The upgraded Rave Alert 4.0 emergency alerting solution, already the most reliable in the marketplace, includes multiple features for enhanced systems' integration and alert management; more effective alert routing through additional communication channels; and greater database portability and user profile administration options.
Framingham, MA (PRWEB) November 3, 2009 -- Rave Mobile Safety, the leading provider of software solutions for individual, group and public safety, today announced its launch of Rave Alert 4.0 at this week's EDUCAUSE 2009 Conference. The upgraded alerting solution, already the most reliable in the marketplace, includes multiple features for enhanced systems' integration and alert management; more effective alert routing through additional communication channels; and greater database portability and user profile administration options.
"Rave Alert already has a reputation for superior performance and reliability, in part achieved through its pre-existing multiple points of redundancy," said Raju Rishi, chief strategy officer and co-founder, Rave Mobile Safety. "Rave Alert 4.0 introduces a significantly improved user and administrative experience and further leverages our strong relationships with higher education software vendors, aggregators and emergency technology partners to build upon this already reliable infrastructure."
Key new features of Rave Alert 4.0 include:
| | - Systems Integration Framework to easily integrate Rave Alert with back-end systems such as SunGard HE, and a variety of other Student Information and Learning Management Systems. Rave Alert can now be synchronized & launched from within various university systems, thereby providing a more unified campus experience.
|
| | - More Extensive Multi-Modal Alerting enabled further through Rave's partnerships with companies such as Alertus Technologies (alert beacons) and ATI Systems (wireless acoustics). Rave 4.0 can reach students, faculty and staff in any location or environment through text, email, recorded voice, desktop alerts, instant messaging, digital signage, RSS feeds, websites, indoor and outdoor speaker systems, strobe lights and more.
|
| | - Dynamic Messaging Layer vastly increasing the routes for Alert delivery, as well as providing confirmation of message delivery to recipients' handsets. This enhanced technology includes additional binds, intelligent routing, and rapid failover to ensure delivery of Alerts.
|
| | - Enhanced Rave Groups enables powerful peer-to-peer alerting within groups such as a class, a club, or among the faculty.
|
| | - Rave User Management APIs provide universities and colleges with Application Programming Interfaces to enable Rave Alert to participate in single sign-on models and become embedded within the university portal. Coupled with Rave's SmartLoader, which allows automated synchronization of user and profile databases, this becomes a powerful tool to facilitate integration within the institution's core systems.
|
| | - Contact Assurance avoids inaccuracies resulting from the high volume of mobile phone number uploads. This system regularly compares mobile phone numbers with carrier records to ensure that the numbers are valid and properly correspond with each user's current wireless carrier.
|
| | - Advanced Scheduling to allow administrators to pre-arrange Alerts for future distribution.
|
| | - New Alert Delivery Features including Multi-Lingual Alerting in each student's preferred language and Conference Blasting for creating automated outbound conference calls to first responders.

Rave is available to demonstrate and provide more information about Rave Alert 4.0 at the November 3-6 EDUCAUSE 2009 Conference, Booth # 854.
