Emergencies and/or exceptions challenge every organization in the food service industry. Appropriate response to crisis and even non-crisis situations depends on fast, accurate, widespread and when possible, verifiable communication. A strategic (emergency alert) communication system is now affordable and available for emergency, non-emergency, priority messaging, polling as well as conference calls appli-cation across the food service and produce industries.

The Immediate Response Information System— IRIS— a high speed notification and response service, sends priority and/or routine messages from groups and contacts through-out your industry. IRIS even records the time each person

receives the message.

Only IRIS Enables Fast, Accurate, Secure, Reliable, Verifiable and AFFORABLE Communication

IRIS is the optimal solution for a prepared emergency notification and priority messaging to every person in your organization constituency as well as groups including your own staff, customers, vendors as well as your extended industry. IRIS outperforms all other messaging services and systems. It reaches an unlimited potential audience—through the most effective receiving devices—faster and at a lower cost per contact than other communication sys-tems. IRIS even verifies and records when each individual receives every message.

IRIS Benefits The Seven Key Requirements of Priority Alert Communication

1. DELIVERY SPEED IRIS sends alert messages to thousands of recipients in about 30 seconds with the click of a single mouse. In the event of computer network failure, you simply contact IRIS toll-free from any telephone or cell phone, and an IRIS adviser communicates your message immediately.

5. COST EFFECTIVENESS IRIS requires no hardware, software or system installa-tion… and is accessible from any telephone or Internet-connected computer. You need no additional equip-

ment. You can handle almost every emergency or

need, from your office, the house, and even on the

road.

2. FORMAT AND MESSAGE FLEXIBILITY IRIS reaches message recipients by all devices at virtu-ally the same time: telephone, cell phone, digital pager, fax, wireless PDA device, email, etc. Voice and text are delivered in up to ten languages as specified by recipi-ents.

6. UNMATCHED RELIABILITY IRIS is the only digital broadband, fail-safe, multi-format, rapid verification and response communication system connected to the world’s most reliable Internet backbone.

3. MESSAGE CONSISTENCY IRIS delivers the same information to all recipients.

4. RECEIPT VERIFICATION IRIS automatically verifies message receipt and saves data for a variety of reports.

7. MAXIMUM DATA AND OPERATION

PROTECTION IRIS operates under the highest security standard in ex-istence to safeguard all personal data and operation. The encryption level is more secure than the technology pro-tocol employed by credit card companies to protect on-line transactions.

IRIS Runs on the World’s Most Secure Internet Communications Network The network that handles 911 calls transmits IRIS messages. IRIS communications achieve the same delivery assurance as the world’s top three Internet carriers. A telecom’s telecom, the network connects nine of the world’s ten largest telephone companies and five of the top six U.S. Internet Service Providers. IRIS uses the same communications network as AOL, Time Warner, EarthLink, Micro-soft, SBC Internet Services, Cox Communications and Verizon. The redundant network with lock-tight security performs at an unsurpassed 99.9% call success rate.

Unbelievably Fast...Easy…Results Assurance Trace the path of an IRIS alert from inception through verification with the click of a mouse or one call from any phone or cell phone.

Consistent Message to Thousands of Contacts in About 30 Seconds In about 30 seconds, IRIS speaks through phones at work and home, as well as cell phones. A text message flashes across digital pagers. Wireless PDAs sound off and stream text. Fax machines begin to print.

IRIS Confirms Message Completions and Redials Missed Contacts IRIS recognizes specific responses and confirms message receipt. Distinguishing each completed phone call from a busy signal, no answer or answering machine, IRIS redials to make human contact. It also confirms fax machine printing, pager message activation, and the opening of an email or clicking on a computer icon.

A Genius For Languages

While English is most widely used, each recipient has the ability to choose voice and text messaging in one of ten

languages. IRIS languages include: English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Vietnamese, Japanese,

Italian, Portuguese, Korean.

IRIS Outperforms All Communications…

Makes Contact with Unparalleled Speed, Efficiency

and Effectiveness

Compare IRIS service with any other messaging system you might use for emergency, priority and routine messages.

• Postal Mail— costly, slow delivery, low response

• Auto-dialer— slow, unreliable delivery, greater potential for system failure

• Printed flyer— costly, unreliable

• Radio/TV broadcasts— not received by all; no response mechanism

• Website and email— limited audience, no assurance or confirmation of receipt

Today, a single service — IRIS — creates swift, verifiable communication across your entire constituency. It slashes time and expense. IRIS conserves paper and reduces dependence on in-house equipment and external media beyond your control, such as computerized email systems, local radio and TV news-casts.

Connecting the Food Service, Produce Industry and the

Entire Supply Chain

In the produce and food service industry, things can change at the blink of an eye.

Therefore, communication is key. A reliable, broad-reaching communica-tion system, IRIS facilitates frequent, uniform and effective contacts for improving industry connection. The use of immediate and “paperless” notification with automated receipt confirmation makes information transfer not only faster and more efficient but lower cost, as well. With IRIS, you really know if everyone got your message.
