Hear what clients are saying about Blackboard Connect™ for Government.
Gary Hoskin, Director Emergency Management
Town of Ware, MA
"Our town needed a dependable emergency communications tool that wouldn't require us to invest in, or maintain, hardware, software, or telephone lines. I looked at many providers and found that all of the systems that researched were too expensive for our town. Backed by a world-class, proactive, indispensable Client Care team and tested, proven technology, the [Blackboard Connect] service was the clear choice."
Robert Leon, Emergency Management Coordinator
City of Commerce, CA
"The expectations constituents place upon municipal leaders changes with the times. We upgraded to [Blackboard Connect] when our previous mass notification system was not able to grow with us to meet our needs. The service meets the communication needs of our cutting-edge city and has exceeded our expectations."
Teresa Borders, City Manager
City of Brazoria, TX
"By using [Blackboard Connect] to follow up on our delinquent utility customers, we found that the system quickly paid for itself; approximately 80% of delinquent utility payments are recouped after calls are delivered. With more prompt payments, we can end the cycle of interrupting service to customers, and save on the cost of on-site manpower needed to shut off and restore services."
David Martin, Emergency Management Director
Iredell County, NC
"After carefully evaluating many notification options, our County decided to go with [Blackboard Connect] due to its experience in sending time-sensitive messages, speed of delivery, ease of use and calling capacity. Just recently, we used [Blackboard Connect] to alert thousands of people in minutes about both a tornado warning and a missing person."
