"A campus notification system must be reliable and have the ability to reach students and faculty through a variety of channels that they use in their daily lives. Prior to using Rave Alert we thought all emergency notification solutions were similar. This can't be further from the truth. The performance, ease-of-use, and the level of support we receive are far beyond our previous solution. We are excited about the new enhancements in Rave Alert 5.0, and appreciate Rave's commitment to excellence."
