TICUA Procurement Program - Blackboard Connect-Ed

Designed to enhance safety, improve enrollment, increase involvement and facilitate campus connections through improved communication, The Connect-ED® mass notification service for Higher Education offers a bundled set of emergency, community outreach, and survey notification tools.

Connect-ED is a service of Blackboard Connect, Inc. (BCI). For more than seven years, BCI has demonstrated superior experience operating as an ASP, sending time-sensitive mass notifications through its web-based, fully hosted system.

Several key features differentiate the Connect-ED service, including:

Bilingual web portal (enrollment screens and messages can be sent in English or Spanish)
Unlimited usage (encourage use for non-emergencies as practice makes perfect)
Remote Access (meaning you can send text or voice messages remotely)
Fully redundant, zero point of failure system
Highest levels of security in place at all levels
Award winning 24x7x365 Client Care, including unlimited technical and user support

Implementation of Connect-ED is simple and includes exporting contacts database (SIS and HR) into .CSV format and uploaded into the multiple redundant data center in real time. An autoscript will be provided to automate the update/sync process.
