It goes without saying that the pager is an antiquated technology. Pagers have many flaws including their:
Dependency on an infrastructure that is dying out
Limited signal or range, preventing on-call responders from receiving pages outside of specific grounds
Lack of encryption and security
Inability to include contextual information of time-sensitive incidents
Unlike the ’90s, modern response teams require an intelligent solution that streamlines team communications while providing persistent mobile alerting to enhance incident resolution.
OnPage’s intelligent alerting solution ensures that critical alerts are automatically delivered to the right person at the right time. Just schedule the right people on the on-call scheduler and OnPage automates the alert! OnPage’s next-generation features include:
