April 22, 2005—Send Word Now, an emergency notification service has welcomed Pfizer Inc to its family of customers and is now on call 24/7 to help employees of the world’s largest research-based pharmaceutical company stay informed and keep connected, especially during emergencies, the company says.
Send Word Now services enable Pfizer, along with other Fortune 1000 companies and large government agencies, to send a single message to hundreds or thousands of employees globally, reaching any and all voice and text devices in minutes. Send Word Now can instantly and simultaneously reach employees where they choose to be reached, through cell phones, work phones, home phones, e-mail, pagers, PDAs, and text messaging devices.
Pfizer recently used Send Word Now during two major natural disasters: to arrange an emergency executive conference in the wake of the Indian Ocean tsunami; and to cancel an employee meeting during last year’s Florida hurricane season.
SWN Communications Inc., parent of Send Word Now, is a leading emergency and routine notification service provider designed to extend public and private sector emergency preparedness, business continuity and contingency planning capabilities. For more on the company, visit its Web site.
