Preparis Launches ACTION Platform™
Preparis, Inc., a leader in workforce preparedness solutions, is announcing today the release of the ACTION Platform™, the industry’s first on-demand solution delivering analytics, certification, training, threat information and notification services through a SaaS portal. Accessible via a company’s intranet, the Internet and mobile devices worldwide, the ACTION Platform™ enables global executives, management teams and all employees to make it through crisis events at a moment’s notice.
The ACTION Platform includes:
Analytics – Assessments and scoring tools enabling executives to benchmark and track their company’s readiness levels for 21st century threats.
Certification – Awarded to companies who adhere to best-in-class preparedness standards backed by Preparis’ X-Force team of subject matter experts.
Training - A suite of online training modules and tools to ensure a fast and reliable crisis response across a company’s offices, functions and employees.
Information - A growing database of threats and actionable response protocols tailored for global enterprises.
Online Portal - The ACTION Platform™ is delivered through an online Preparedness Portal where executives, managers and crisis teams can access threat information, response protocols, training, exercises, business continuity and crisis plans, tools, tips and notifications services.
Notification Services - Enables managers and crisis teams to easily and quickly communicate with each other during a crisis using mobile text messaging and email.
“To date, companies have been preparing for 21st century threats through custom consulting engagements that developed business continuity plans that sit on the shelf,” says Armistead Whitney, Preparis CEO. “The ACTION Platform™ provides the dynamic information, training, tools and services companies really need in a cost effective, subscription-based portal.”
A key component to the ACTION Platform™ is its ease of deployment within the enterprise. “Many of our clients are fully prepared and certified for 21st century threats within 90 days of subscribing to the ACTION Platform™,” says Whitney. “Since Preparis hosts the application, there is no software or hardware for the client to install and our technology enables us to easily develop and add new applications and services based on the specific needs of the marketplace,” says Whitney.
The ACTION Platform™ has already been rolled out globally to tens of thousands of users in over 70 cities and 4 continents worldwide.
