Viyya Technologies, Inc. (PINK SHEETS:VYON), developer and marketer
of information management systems, has identified specific
shortcomings in many proposed plans for making emergency
information available to students, parents, faculty and staff in
colleges, universities and other institutional settings. The
special needs of schools and various programs and institutions
can�t be met with knee-jerk reactions and a one-size-fits-all
approach. �We have learned a lot in the past few weeks about what
works and what won�t work in emergency situations,� explained John
Bay, CEO of Viyya. �We know that every environment has its own
unique problems and challenges in times of crisis. Informing or
warning hundreds or thousands of people can�t be accomplished using
a simplistic off-the-shelf approach. Attempting to use cell phones
to warn students, staff and faculty, for example, fails to take
note of the fact that many people turn off their phones in
classrooms, libraries and labs and that many of the phones don�t
work in gyms, pools or technology buildings where signal
interference is common. Cell phones are great devices, but they do
have their limitations and limitations aren�t what you want in an
emergency.� In recent weeks Viyya has met with representatives of
dozens of educational institutions with special needs, who see the
EAIP as the necessary solution. The Austine School of the Vermont
Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is one example of a campus
with hundreds of students and hundreds more for whom help is
provided, off campus, at a variety of locations. A New York college
administrator estimated only 6,000 of approximately 15,000 people
on its campus might be reachable using cell phones. Viyya launched
the Emergency Alert Information Portal last month in the wake of
the tragedy at Virginia Tech University. EAIP is an application
that provides timely distribution of information � both on a
routine daily basis and, in times of crisis, in an emergency mode.
The system instantly transmits alerts to thousands of users of PCs,
laptops, notebooks, PDAs, and phones via e-mail or SMS text
messaging, and supports collaborative information exchange through
chat rooms, discussion groups, and topic-specific forums. The
application can also include visual attention-getting features,
such as colored flashing lights. The Viyya Information Portal and
the Viyya engine assist first responders, emergency management and
campus security officials in crisis situations, as well as provide
alerts, notification, and situation updates to students, parents,
faculty, administration and campus security personnel. �The EAIP is
web-based, timely and a logical application that personalizes and
customizes information for maximum impact,� notes John Bay.
�Information originating from a variety of sources can be
displayed, filtered, organized and disseminated through portal
technology and shared by the parties concerned. It is a highly
sophisticated intelligence sharing application that can be used to
monitor and share security information that may involve threats and
a variety of dangerous or disruptive situations.� About Viyya
