AtHoc’s Innovative Unified Emergency Mass Notification Software Recognized for Leadership, Exceptional Innovation

SAN MATEO, Calif. (April 27, 2011) – AtHoc, Inc., the pioneer and leader in network-centric emergency mass notification systems (EMNS), today announced that its flagship product, AtHoc IWSAlerts™ emergency mass notification solution, has been selected as Unified Communications magazine’s 2010 Product of the Year.

“A recent integration with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) marks the first Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) integration with a network-centric mass notification system,” said David Box, Director of Marketing for AtHoc. “This unique capability will enable VoIP phones to become a vital component of a pervasive emergency mass notification system. AtHoc IWSAlerts with Cisco integration is an outstanding example of innovative enterprise-class software that has been successfully used to ensure public safety.”

When integrated with CUCM, AtHoc IWSAlerts will integrate an organization’s emergency alerting system with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, transforming Cisco IP phones into an indoor public address system on every desk so they can be used to notify personnel if the need arises.

“AtHoc has proven they are committed to quality and excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace. Unified Communications is pleased to grant a 2010 Product of the Year Award for AtHoc IWSAlerts,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “We’re proud to honor their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions from AtHoc in the future.”
