Zipit Wireless, a US ‘pioneer in connected platform solutions’, and Atus Systems, a Hereford-based supplier of paging and lone worker systems, have announced an exclusive partnership to bring the Zipit Enterprise Critical Messaging Solution to UK healthcare and enterprise customers.
Zipit says the critical messaging solution has been deployed by over 500 leading healthcare, public safety, and other enterprises in the US. The company said: “Zipit’s incredibly fast, extremely reliable messaging solution has processed and sent almost 100 million critical messages and consistently delivered those messages, on average, in less than 10 seconds since its initial release in 2011.”
As the company’s website explains, ‘the Zipit Confirm mobile application for smartphones and tablets provides today’s portable device with a critical messaging capability that is compliant with HIPAA Technical Safeguards, while providing the same full accountability, confirmed delivery notification, and manageability, that the Zipit Enterprise Critical Messaging Solution is known for today’. The mobile application provides ‘a no compromise, securely logged messaging service to any smartphone or tablet running the Zipit Confirm mobile application’.
Zipit added: “Developed to support the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) to work policies that select enterprise customers are beginning to adopt, the Zipit Confirm mobile application enables the smart business to connect its entire mobile workforce and provide no compromise critical messaging.”
Atus and Zipit say that ‘unique’ to the Zipit platform is the ability to detect device status, and enable messages to be automatically escalated and re-routed to other personnel through Zipit’s Smart Message workflow engine.
“Zipit’s patented critical messaging technology uniquely positions us to jointly deliver a reliable, two-way critical communication solution to our healthcare customers and Her Majesty’s Prison Service,” explained Darren Swindlehurst, MD at Atus Systems (pictured).
“The Zipit solution has been proven to resolve key customer pain points typically associated with antiquated pagers and traditional texting, and we are pleased to offer this powerful solution to our UK enterprise customers.”
“Activating clinical care and emergency response teams in a timely manner is not a challenge exclusive to the United States,” said Ralph Heredia, co-founder and vice-president, Business Development, at Zipit Wireless. “Zipit is proud to now be able to address these same challenges in the UK through this partnership with Atus Systems.”
