BlackBerry Emergency Response and Co-ordination

In a crisis situation, you and your colleagues need to have every piece of critical contact and process information to hand, regardless of whether your main computer servers are operational or not.

PINpoint is a corporate application that facilitates cooperation and  coordination, by ensuring that BlackBerry users always have up-to-date  information stored on their handhelds, including critical documents and  contact lists.

Following a defined schedule, PINpoint automatically collects the  most up-to-date documents and contact information from internal or  external systems, and pushes them to the BlackBerry devices you  designate. Pushed information is automatically stored in your  BlackBerrys' cache memory, thus ensuring that it will be available when  your users need it, even if your systems are down or unreachable.

For BlackBerry users, PINpoint provides additional, BES-specific  information not normally found in the BlackBerry address book, as well  as information collected from your Corporate Directory (e.g. Microsoft  Active Directory or Novell eDirectory), such as department, city, job  title, etc.

Complete and up-to-date documents and contact information are particularly valuable for Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans, making PINpoint a great communications enabler for when your  corporate systems are unavailable (e.g. to use pin-to-pin messaging, or  to refer to emergency procedures).
