DESCRIPTION

A public entity in North Carolina is conducting market research for a modern messaging and public notification platform. The aim is to identify solutions suitable for enterprise-level deployment, gather information on key features and capabilities, obtain preliminary cost estimates, and understand implementation approaches as well as timelines to support future budgeting and procurement decisions.

The solution should support resident subscription-based critical alerting and notification services, including emergency notifications (via SMS, voice, email, and push notifications) and more general public information messaging. Key requirements include multi-channel resident subscription (web, SMS keyword, QR code), contact management and segmentation, multilingual messaging capabilities, message delivery tracking and reporting, and integration with existing systems like CRM, GIS, or public websites. Additional considerations include the customer support model, response times, data security standards and certifications, and a typical implementation timeline.
