AtHoc–s unique crisis communication suite provides centralized, authoritative alerts to organizations that desire rapid response in the case of emergencies. With it, commanders can reach any landline, VoIP or mobile phone used by personnel to easily reach groups and individuals to distribute alerts. To maintain security, the Army can maintain its own contact information databases and AtHoc gives customers the flexibility to host the service onsite while leveraging AtHoc–s secure cloud for rapid communications.
MEDCOM–s lifesaving mission is to deliver highly responsive and reliable health services to military personnel and their families.
