Former AtHoc Department of Defense Mass Notification Expert Joshua Shipman Appointed to Desktop Alert Inc. Advisory Board

Chatham, New Jersey (PRWEB) November 11, 2014

Today Desktop Alert Inc., the ‘less than one minute alerting platform’ used by the U.S. Military and numerous healthcare and corporate organizations worldwide, announced that the company has appointed Joshua Shipman to the company’s advisory board.

Prior to his employment at AtHoc, Mr. Shipman served in the United States Air Force as a Systems Architect at U.S.NORTHCOM and NORAD Theater Communications Coordination Center (TCCC) , NATO HQ AF SOUTH in Naples Italy, multiple Air Force locations, and subsequently deployed enterprise ip-based mass notification systems at AETC, ACC, AMC, PACAF, Patrick AFB, Eielson, Elmendorf, Joint Base San Antonio as an employee of AtHoc.com. While employed at AtHoc Mr. Shipman oversaw enterprise deployments and ongoing operations for all AtHoc USAF MNS systems. Mr. Shipman also managed MNS deployments at Army Corps of Engineers, TRANSCOM, and numerous other deployments.

“Desktop Alert is pleased with the addition of Mr. Shipman to our advisory board. His wealth of experience and knowledge insures that Desktop Alert will not only remain competitive in the federal sector and beyond but also bolster our companies overall value proposition to all markets,” said Howard Ryan, CEO and Founder Desktop Alert Inc.

“I am honored by the appointment to the Desktop Alert advisory board,” said Mr. Shipman.

“After careful evaluation it was clear to me that Desktop Alert brings a simplistic approach to offering a state-of-the-art notification capability at an affordable cost. When notifying users seconds count. What is most critical is reliability, ease of use, and delivery time. In a DoD environment the system must also be able to operate in unique, secure, network environments and not be easily susceptible to failure when changes occur within those environments. Desktop Alert’s solution to Mass Notification encompasses all of these things and more. I am honored to partner with Desktop Alert and look forward to contributing to their continued success in bringing an affordable and reliable notification capability to DoD and beyond,” Shipman added.

“When lives are at stake, second’s count. Desktop Alert is the only known DoD vendor with a 10 second poll rate capability for network alerting beit a on-premise or cloud-based deployment of our notification system. A five year review of our DoD client reports indicate 99% of all network alerts were and continue to be received in less than 60 seconds with a bulk of the alerts being received in under 30 seconds. Latency-based network alerts introduce the risk of failure to all missions. We hang our technological hat on the speed of the alerts delivery, the speed of the alerts receipt and doing so with little to no deprecation of the networks bandwidth,” said Howard Ryan, CEO and Founder Desktop Alert Inc.

Department of Mental Health in Thailand Advances e-Government Development With CAYIN Digital Signage

Taipei, Taiwan (PRWEB) June 17, 2009

Ministry of Public Health in Thailand installs CAYIN digital signage system in its convention rooms by DMaSStech (Digital Media and Signage Solution Technology). The system enhances e-government development and provides citizens with instant meeting information. It further reduces the operation and management costs, and builds a better image for the organization. This is the first phase installed in the Department of Mental Health.

The Ministry of Public Health in Thailand is the main national health agency that plays an important role in a program of health development. Many important conventions and meetings take place on a regular basis in its four convention rooms at the main building of the Department of Mental Health. To further enhance e-government development, the department consulted DMaSStech, the leading system integrator of digital signage solution in Thailand, and adopted CAYIN’s digital signage system for a better way to convey meeting information.

This digital signage project for the Department of Mental Health is targeted to achieve the following objectives:

to provide citizens with better and more convenient services;
to reduce operation and management costs;
to convey information of conferences efficiently to citizens;
to replace traditional bulletin with modern digital signage for staff and guests.

To have a flexible platform for future database integration, DMaSStech introduced CAYIN’s web-based digital signage players in this project. SMP-WEBPLUS and SMP-WEB3 are installed both in front of and inside each conference room. Benefited from remote connectivity capabilities, administrators can edit contents and change configurations in any computer connected to the network.

Screens in front of the lift and conference rooms display meeting schedule and welcome messages to visitors. For those screens inside the conference rooms, event hosts can present the topic and relevant information of each event taken place in the room.

SMP-WEB3 is featured in its AV-in function and can play real-time video by directly connecting to a TV turner and DVD player. CAYIN’s digital signage system assists in creating a multi-purpose signage, including: TV, welcome board, information bulletin, conference information, messages to guests and staff, etc.

“CAYIN digital signage system successfully saves time, increases efficiency, and reduces the printing cost of traditional posters,” said Sathian Thancharoenkit, the Managing Director of DMaSStech. “The system also builds a great image for the department. We are proud to assist the department in taking a step forward towards the e-Government implementation in Thailand.”
