CatapultEMS

Kommentare: It has allowed us to upgrade our Emergency response to be more efficient in getting the word out to all members of our community quickly and effectively.

Vorteile: The items that I like most about this software are that it allows you log in via your google log in which makes it easier, it has excellent customer support in that they will respond very quickly to any needs including onsite training. They will respond to any alerts and make sure that everything is okay. In addition, it is valuable that we have the ability to connect with 1st responders. They will work with your current SIS to get everyone into the system and then will be able to provide for you class lists during anytime of the day helping you to account for students. There is a central map to locate where everyone is at when they check in.

Nachteile: The struggles with the software are that it is still relatively new so there are a few bugs that they are working out. When we started it was a challenge making sure that the data was properly recorded from the SIS. When we first engaged the software we though there would be more templates related to the emergency information that needs to be provided in the system. There is some and it is helpful but there was the hope that there would be more resources available. The fact that very few First Responders are aware of the software makes it more challenging to make the connections necessary to make it work to its optimum.

Vorteile: I like that you can save portions of a page and hide them without having to type in code to hide it. So you could activate it when needed and hide it when it "expires". The ease of adding alt text to images.

Nachteile: It is confusing at first. You really need training to get started. I design websites and was confused. Once I had a little training, it became easier. If you have multiple sites you have to figure out which one you need to get into it.
