MUNICH, Feb. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

- Use of emergency notification systems has increased by 10 percent: 6 out of 10 organizations have implemented such a solution

- Emergency notification systems and employment of IoT devices significantly fasten communication processes in case of an emergency

- 650 respondents from all over the world took part into the survey conducted by the Business Continuity Institute, which has been supported by F24 for the first time

More organizations than ever before are using an emergency notification system (ENS). This share increased significantly from 49 percent in the previous year to 59 percent. Companies and organizations, who adopt ENS are able to initiate their emergency communications plans and escalate information to their top management more quickly than those who don't (see graphic). While only about half of organizations without an ENS are able to initiate their plans within an hour, three out of four organizations using and ENS are able to achieve this target.

These are key findings from the BCI Emergency Communications Report 2019, which marks the 4th edition of this research and where 650 industry experts from all over the world participated. This report by the Business Continuity institute (BCI) has for the first time been supported by F24, the leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider for emergency notification and crisis management and for sensitive and critical communications in Europe.

"Saving time has become even more crucial as our world is highly interconnected and globalized today. The results of this report show clearly that more and more organizations benefit from implementing an emergency notification system. This is great news as it enables professionals to focus on relevant activities that really need to be handled by people," says Christian Goetz, co-founder of F24, member of the Board of Directors and responsible for the areas of Sales, Marketing & PR, HR and Customer Service.

IoT devices enable faster communications

Besides emergency communications systems the figures also point out that the use of IoT devices also is able to fasten the communications processes significantly. The organizations, who employ IoT devices, 88 percent can activate their emergency communications within one hour, while only 76 percent of organizations, who don't use IoT devices, are able to do so. The same is true for the time needed to inform the top management (see table 4, page 22).

"Of course, technology cannot take over the responsibility of these complex situations as typically they can only be handled by humans. But this does not mean that technology cannot be used to add value, in order to improve our processes and quality." Christian Goetz adds, "Additionally, the report also offers valuable insights into topics like main challenges within emergency communications, training and exercising, success factors and communication channels for specific scenarios."
