What is BGEMS?
BGEMS, or the Business and Government Emergency Management & Security system, is made up of features of MessageNet Connections to meet the unique needs of organizations in the businessgovernment fields.
How Does it Work?
A typical BGEMS integration is affordable, quick to install, and easy to use because the Connections platform it uses is designed to connect and work with technologies that are already deployed while leaving the system open to later additions. BGEMS can be used to enhance safety and security, to facilitate mass notification, and for daily announcements.
Daily & Emergency Use
BGEMS is designed to meet both the daily and emergency needs of any organization. Because the system is used for emergency and daily communications, it’s used every day, making it easier and faster for staff to send out notifications in the event of an emergency, saving more lives.
