Employee reachability that links cooperating organizations across firewalls

Two companies announce a merger. Now their “merger clock” is ticking. Can they quickly meld their people and operations, or will customers and the stock market sense that something is awry and lose confidence?

A hurricane strikes a major school district. Hundreds of principals, emergency directors, police, public safety, building safety inspectors, and others must communicate quickly and reliably to determine which schools can reopen. Power has been out for days, voice networks are overloaded, and the most reliable communication is with BlackBerry PIN-to-PIN ID messaging, Push-to-Talk, or SMS text. Few officials have up-to-date printed directories of all their emergency contacts, but with the itrezzo InterOrg Connector, every individual with a smart phone has the latest phone and PIN information for each person they need to work with.
