Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Takes Off With Netpresenter's Emergency Alert

Netpresenter, May the 23th 2002, Amsterdam Airport.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has greatly improved its ability to inform visitors and employees in the event of a public emergency. Schiphol has installed "Emergency Alert", a new computer programme by Netpresenter. Netpresenter is a Dutch software development company, worldwide leading in the field of internal communication solutions.

Emergency Alert is a computer programme that enables companies and organisations to quickly and efficiently inform visitors and employees in the event of a public emergency. News messages can be created in seconds and presented directly on PC's and television screens within the organisation's buildings and public areas.

For example, shopping malls can immediately inform their visitors on how and when to evacuate the building, and local governments can convey emergency information to their citizens by cutting into television programmes and displaying messages.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol can now use all available screens, including a big advertisement screen at the entrance of the terminal, to inform its visitors in the event of an emergency. Schiphol's spokeswoman Ms Snoerwang: "We use mergency Alert for example when a terminal needs to be evacuated".

In the last few years Schiphol Airport had to evacuate a terminal twice because of fire. "It turned out to be particularly difficult to communicate with people outside the terminal. This needed to be improved", Snoerwang acknowledges.

"After the events of September 11th, demand for swifter communication solutions is booming", says Frank Hoen, CEO of Netpresenter. "Government agencies and companies have realized that in emergency situations an improved communication ability can save lives." Hoen speaks from experience. In 1995 large parts of the southern Netherlands suffered from a flooding disaster. In one of the areas that were most affected, Hoen created and managed a public communication service via the television cable, which turned out to be very successful.

Besides Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the state of Connecticut has also shown serious interest in acquiring Netpresenter's Emergency Alert.

Netpresenter is a worldwide leading software development company in the field of internal communication solutions. Netpresenter holds offices in London, New York and Aachen (Germany). The company has licensed more than 500,000 software applications to leading organizations such as Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Volkswagen, Ford, Pratt & Whitney, Philip Morris Holland BV, Siemens, Swisscom, Sony, Barclays Bank, the Dutch Army, France Telecom, Unilever, Eastman, NATO, US Navy, Nokia, KLPD, Police North Brabant, London Metropolitan Police and government agencies worldwide.
