Notification Strategy

With Notification Manager, you can implement a sophisticated notification strategy without any REXX programming. Your strategy can include:

Choosing the method (for example, voice, pager) used to notify people based on the time or day
Choosing the behavior of the method (for example, number of times to let the phone ring, number of times to retry on busy) based on the individual being notified or on the time or day
Providing multiple (for example, backup) methods of notifying individuals
Assigning responsibilities based on the time or day
Assigning backup responsibilities based on the time or day
Providing for temporary or periodic reassignment of responsibilities
Grouping people by common job function or any other criteria
Notifying just one or all the people in a group about a situation
Automatic escalation, or forwarding, when a person or group cannot be notified
