New Hope, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/21/2016 -- ZipBridge is excited to announce new outbound international conference call capabilities that is available as an optional feature made possible by the company's partnership with TouchTone Communications. Technically, international calls were already possible (USA to Canada), but this new feature now permits instant conference calls across the globe. This feature saves clients and businesses time and money by eliminating barriers and connection surcharges when global participants need to join a conference bridge. With international outbound conference calling from ZipBridge, companies with personnel in different countries have a simple, fast, and economical method to bring those people into a standard or emergency conference call from anywhere in the world.

The setup is simple. Customers simply email support@zipbridge.net to notify ZipBridge about any international call intentions and the company will assign a secure PIN registered with TouchTone Communications for billing. Initiating a landline or mobile conference call across different countries does not require any additional steps than does a standard ZipBridge call. Combining convenience, security, and functionality is one of the many ways that ZipBridge's innovative and intuitive platform has helped businesses respond to urgent issues and crises.

The only thing group members need to do to join impromptu international emergency conference calls is answer their phone and press '1'. This enables instant team calling for issues ranging from routine meetings to urgent response strategizing. While technical support is handled by ZipBridge, international calling usage billing is handled by their partner TouchTone Communications.

New Hope, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/26/2016 -- Emergencies are unpredictable which is why preparation is critical. Time is of the essence when it comes to protecting a company's most valuable assets during an emergency, and communication is cited and the key factor in prompt and efficient resolution. Any issue from impending weather to power or internet outages to security breaches or water leaks requires getting the right specialists and decision makers on the phone in a timely matter to determine what is happening and the best course of action. The antiquated conference call with dial-in numbers and PIN's is not able to address the need for instant and ubiquitous communication in these situations - which is why ZipBridge's emergency communication solutions were developed.

The key to handling emergencies is to be properly prepared to react and respond in a calm and calculated manner and avoid panicking due to lack of access to information and input. Many businesses have basic protocols in place for responding to an emergency, but fine tuning the process is an ongoing exercise. One of the most important things an organization can implement comes from ZipBridge, a company that specializes in emergency response solutions and offers a tool that provides critical communication services to schools and businesses across the country.

The main difference between ZipBridge and standard conference calling solutions is that the involved parties need no advance knowledge of the need for a call because ZipBridge calls out to the participants. This makes it super easy for the specialists needing to be involved to join a call – they just answer their phone. This results in faster call setup with complete team participation because no time is wasted sending out emails or text messages with call-in information, which at best take an effort to respond to and at worst are ignored completely.

With ZipBridge, one party simply initiates the call, and all the designated group members are called and bridged together as they answer to begin planning their response immediately. Members of the group can set a unique ringtone for incoming ZipBridge calls to add another layer of communication indicating that the call is critical and needs to be answered. Instant team communication without advance notice, awareness or complicated call-in procedures are what separates ZipBridge from standard conference calls and facilitates communication in an emergency when time and full team participation are critical.

New Hope, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/28/2016 -- ZipBridge is an innovative telecommunication service that allows groups to connect quickly and efficiently for conference calls from mobile phones, desk phones or computers. The company founders possess over 50 years of combined experience with a passion to solve communication problems with innovative technologic advances. The company realized that there were some critical needs to be met when they spoke with a college IT director who had issues organizing emergency phone calls at his school. The school had a mass notification tool, but no way to assemble the response team for a quick conference call to analysis the situation and decide on next steps. Traditional conference calling technology was too slow and cumbersome so ZipBridge was born to being a team on a conference call in seconds.

People involved in incident management know that communication is key to the prompt and efficient management of any emergency. That communication takes many forms and involves disseminating and collecting information in the following areas:
- Communication between various response teams,
- Communication with wider group of company stakeholders and
- Communication with the general population.

ZipBridge fills a gap for this first type – communicating with the different response teams that could be involved in an incident in order to permit an accurate assessment of the situation and arrive at and agree upon next steps.

ZipBridge offers a free trial for the service and then several plans to fit the needs and budget of any client. Costs range from $249 to $999 per year which depends on the functionality, number of people in a group and free minutes. Either way, it is a low cost way to ensure instant communication to teams that need it.

Some of the new features ZipBridge has added recently include:
Bulk SMS so users can text the group as well as call them. Perfect to announce an upcoming call or give an update when no call is needed.

ZipLaunch Number which allows any authorized individual to launch a ZipBridge conference call by simply dialing a number followed by a code. Perfect for launching a call from a command center.

About ZipBridge
ZipBridge is a software application that allows groups to launch unscheduled conference calls at a moment's notice. Optional enhancements include group SMS messaging, custom greetings, and unlimited talk time. The customizable telecommunications service is compatible with cell phones, computers, and landlines, and is ideal in urgent situations, unscheduled events, and emergencies.

New Hope, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/25/2016 -- Executives and Information Technology departments throughout corporate America are utilizing ZipBridge's unique product offerings. The company combines an easy-to-use platform with prompt and efficient group calling solutions to provide a valuable tool for any organization. According to CTEH's Director of Technology "Getting a large group people together at a moment's notice can be challenging. ZipBridge takes away the pain of logistics and lets us focus on solving problems with the situation at hand." This service is critical for CTEH®, who specialize in emergency response and crisis management while controlling chemical, physical, and biological agents.

Colleges and Universities also find tremendous value in ZipBridge's offerings when responding to emergencies. The Associate VP for Technology & Operations at Gordon College stated, "We use ZipBridge for crisis communications. Before ZipBridge, we used a traditional phone bridge, and it took 3-4 minutes to get everyone on the phone after we sent out text messages and emails about an emergency phone call starting."

Benedictine University, a private catholic university founded in 1887, uses ZipBridge for multiple functions. As their Direcot of Emergency Preparedness notes: "We use ZipBridge to discuss issues that need the attention of our emergency team. It is quick and easy to get everyone you need on the phone to make decisions. The redundancies built in are also helpful. If you miss a call, you get a call on a second line. If you miss that, you get a text and an email. For non-emergency needs, we use ZipBridge as a true conferencing system to connect people from our main campus in Lisle, Springfield, Illinois and Mesa, Arizona."

ZipBridge is ideal for urgent meetings, emergency notifications, and unscheduled events. The company provides free trials to allow potential clients to test out the innovative service offerings they provide. Interested parties are encouraged to visit http://www.zipbridge.net or call 469-249-3770.
