PRISM Partners with MissionMode

Mar 9, 2011 1:15 PM

PRISM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARGUS International and industry leading SMS solutions provider, is proud to announce a new partnership with MissionMode Solutions. PRISM subscribers now have the opportunity to add MissionMode’s state-of-the-art communications management system to their emergency response plan (ERP). This offering complements PRISM’s Safety Management System (SMS) ERP manuals, training and drills. MissionMode’s web-based software automates and streamlines an operator’s emergency communications by combining rapid alert notification with an online command center for managing incident response activities.

“We are excited to provide our PRISM SMS subscribers with this additional technology service to further enhance their SMS and ERP capabilities,” said Bill Yantiss, PRISM Executive Vice President. “MissonMode’s unique incident management and emergency response notification systems complement our PRISM SMS program perfectly. PRISM and MissionMode together offer industry-leading tools enabling busy flight operations to develop and maintain a robust and active SMS and ERP, without losing focus on their day-to-day responsibilities. Private, commercial, rotary wing, and even air carrier flight operations can all benefit from the services offered by PRISM and MissionMode.”

MissionMode significantly increases the speed and accuracy of communications during emergencies as well as routine operations. Using MissionMode’s online Situation Center, flight departments can mobilize teams within seconds and coordinate their activities during an incident, while keeping a detailed log of activities. This secure command center serves as a central hub for sharing resources, monitoring tasks and managing communications.

“Together, PRISM and MissionMode can now deploy an unbeatable combination of software and service to implement or enhance Safety Management Systems and Emergency Response for all aviation companies,” said Malcolm Hafner, MissionMode’s CEO. “MissionMode has a history of delivering increased operational effectiveness, safety and emergency response for the aviation industry. We are delighted to be working with PRISM in this forward-looking partnership that will drive increased safety into an industry where this is the paramount concern.”

PRISM SMS offers a constructed pathway to ease the burden of compliance and improve the effectiveness of a flight operation. PRISM understands the 24/7/365 nature of the aviation industry and has developed ARMOR, a web-based tool that provides operators with a system that all employees can gain required access to at any time, while allowing the safety officer the ability to manage all elements of their SMS from a laptop and internet connection from anywhere around the world. PRISM meets the standards of CAMTS (Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Services), IS-BAO (International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations) and the United States Forestry Service.
