Now at last organizations both military and commercial have realized that when an Internet outage occurs there is no silver lining in the cloud. Organizations have finally tallied the results and decidedly moved back to redundant on premise emergency communication platforms. As the only commercial company in the United States certified for mass notification on all government and military networks our company is now experiencing a significant spike in sales opportunities for organizations seeking to buttress their emergency communication platform capabilities to ensure that when the Internet goes down and the cloud is not available that they are capable of still communicating with their constituency without delay. As such, this underlines the metaphor, there is no silver lining to the cloud “, said Howard Ryan CEO Desktop Alert Inc.
