MIR3,
Inc. and Montague Technology Management Inc. (MTM) Form Strategic
Partnership MIR3's INlogicNOW™ Selected as Notification Platform
for Montague Technology Management's Operations Continuity Practice
San
Diego, CA and Glen Cove, NY— November 11th , 2003 —
MIR3, the technology leader in Intelligent Notification™ solutions,
and Montague Technology Management (MTM), a premier provider of
integrated operations continuity solutions, today announced that
the companies have formed a strategic partnership. Under the alliance,
MTM will establish a consulting emphasis in turnkey implementation
and ongoing support programs for Operations Continuity based on
MIR3's Intelligent Notification technology and services. MIR3's
INlogicNOW will be the exclusive notification platform for MTM's
Operations Continuity Practice.
The
case for business continuity has become painfully evident in the
post-9/11 business environment. While emergency preparedness has
fueled new dedication to ensuring business continuity, the importance
of rapid and timely notification to key individuals anywhere, anytime,
on any communication device remains paramount. The MIR3/MTM partnership
evolved from a commitment by both companies to address the growing
need for flexible, scalable continuity planning solutions that are
developed and maintained around unique, well-defined business functions
and processes of which notification is a key element.
“Technology
itself cannot address operations continuity challenges without successful
implementation and ongoing support,” said Kathleen Lucey, CEO,
Montague Technology Management. “MIR3 offers the industry's
most complete notification platform, with the ability to pre-program
a response to a variety of interruption scenarios, as well as a
monitoring capability to track responses in real-time. Detailed
response exercise reports provide both an easy way to identify outdated
contact information and a permanent audit record to support corporate
program and regulatory mandates. This tool, coupled with our extensive
experience with notification processes, makes available a solution
that is more complete, more effective, and more responsive to the
interruption response needs of businesses of all sizes across all
industries.” In 1998, IBM named Kathleen Lucey Business Continuity
Practitioner of the year.
INlogicNOW
is used by companies and consulting partners to power business-critical
communications and information flow. MTM will provide cost-effective
turnkey solutions for initial contact information collection, input,
and validation, as well as support for the design of continuous
update processes and ongoing notification test planning, execution,
and follow-up. MIR3 is one of only two strategic partners selected
by MTM to deliver critical business continuity tools to MTM's Operations
Continuity Practice.
“Business
continuity and operations assurance represent the biggest market
opportunities for Intelligent Notification,” said Margi Schmidt,
VP of Business Development, MIR3. “MIR3 acknowledges MTM as
a subject matter expert in notification best practices and a leader
in the risk management market. MTM has a strong vision for the role
of notification for business continuity, and we are delighted to
be working in partnership with them.”
