3n Posts Triple-Digit Sales Growth in 2007; Doubles Customer Base
Accelerated Customer Demand, High Adoption Rates and New Products Fuel Growth (Globally)
GLENDALE, CA--(Marketwire - January 31, 2008) - 3n (National Notification Network) today
announced record annual sales growth of 399% in 2007, surpassing strong
results in 2006 and continuing the company's accelerating growth
trajectory. This dramatic increase in sales and a rapidly growing customer
base that doubled in size, reinforce 3n's leadership position in delivering
notification solutions to Global 2000 corporations, healthcare
organizations, federal, state and local government agencies as well as
colleges and universities. In response to market demand, 3n aggressively
expanded the company's product portfolio and launched solutions tailored to
key healthcare markets, higher education institutions, and local municipal
governments.
"3n's accelerated growth in 2007 resulted from an increasing awareness of
the need for notification services, significant new system enhancements and
a better market understanding of the distinctive value 3n brings to our
customers," said Cinta Putra, 3n CEO. Further, 3n's unique architecture,
extensive experience delivering mass notification solutions, and embedded
knowledge base of customer needs and best practices has helped to further
distinguish 3n from the competition. We listened to the market to identify
pressing needs and concerns in key industries and we responded proactively
to those requirements. Our focus on satisfying the unique needs of each of
our markets will continue to pay large dividends in rapid customer adoption
of the 3n mass notification system and its expanded use in organizations
globally. I believe that the company's impressive sales growth and customer
expansion speaks for itself."
In 2007, 3n's development efforts produced dramatic improvements in the 3n
InstaCom system's functionality and organizational flexibility. Added
improvements included advanced call-in features, enhanced polling
capabilities, and the industry's first notification system with a built-in
organizational hierarchy. This feature enables organizations to grant
separate locations, departments or districts the power to manage their own
data and execute emergency plans independently or in conjunction with the
rest of the organization. 3n also launched the industry's first and only
pandemic communication solution incorporating pandemic message maps that
adhere to the Chandler Message Mapping Methodology and provide
organizations with a critical messaging knowledge base to guide them
through pandemic-related communications in a crisis.
Behind the scenes, 3n rolled out its sophisticated ACT-SaaS(SM) service
that leverages the benefits of a Software-as-a-Service delivery model with
data centers in active-active configuration to eliminate failover delays
typical with competing notification systems. 3n is the only mass
notification provider to offer customers the level of scalability and
reliability inherent in this ACT-SaaS configuration. To address the
concerns of global organizations that wished to host confidential
information in localized data facilities outside the U.S., 3n replicated
this ACT-SaaS model in Canada with data centers in Toronto and Vancouver.
3n won a number of key accounts in highly competitive situations in 2007,
including AirTran Airways and Virginia Tech. According to Jim Tabor, vice
president for operations at AirTran Airways, "3n has a superior
infrastructure unmatched by the numerous other products we researched. Many
companies claimed to provide the most reliable service, but only 3n could
back it up." Larry Hincker, associate vice president for university
relations at Virginia Tech, stated that, "The 3n InstaCom Campus Alert
system is a sophisticated tool that is easy to use. I believe it can only
further benefit our students, faculty, and staff."
The 3n mass notification system enables organizations to quickly and
efficiently communicate with a contact base of any size during any
situation requiring quick and secure dissemination of information. Messages
are relayed via all standard forms of communication including phones (home,
work and cell), email, fax, instant messenger, SMS BlackBerry® devices
and more.
