Collaboration

PIER allows any number of users, from internal or external organizations, to create, revise and comment on various document drafts. By tracking all changes by author and draft, you never lose track of your work and always have the ability to bring a document in from your archives, for additional use.

Rapid Response

A new website can be launched within seconds from pre-defined templates, with fully populated stakeholder databases, for immediate availability at your personalized URL. This "instant response" allows your communicators to begin managing inquiries and preparing responses, even before your emergency teams can assemble.

Anytime, Anywhere

No software! No hardware! PIER is easily accessible from any web browser and all of the information, contacts and tools that your communicators need are at their fingertips without having to install any software or be tied to any particular piece of hardware. Any web browser - anytime - anywhere.

Scalable

Infrastructure, and its associated maintenance, can be expensive and PIER Systems is uniquely positioned to typically provide you with more infrastructure than you might provide yourself. PIER can be implemented for a specific department or function, pending issue, or incident - as needed - giving your organization the individual flexibility, yet enterprise power that your communicators need on the front lines of today's instant media world.

Security

Using a password protected, database-driven system, PIER gives your organization the confidence of 128-bit encryption, various access levels and the ability to present both public and protected data on a public-facing website. PIER is supported by hardened infrastructure, hardware and software security to keep your data protected and to ensure your constant accessibility.

Approvals

The PIER System was built using the Joint Information Center (JIC) model that was developed for the Incident Command System (ICS) that is now mandated by the National Incident Management System (NIMS), for producing and distributing information. This model is constantly being adapted to support your organizations standard operations and specific chain of command, per department, organization or incident.
