World leading provider of advanced crisis management solutions, Cobalt, is to support Paris in the wake of recent attacks.
Cobalt, an award-winning specialist Security and Business Continuity organisation with offices in Montreal, UAE and the UK is supporting Paris based businesses by providing companies with free access to its smartphone product enabling business to provide employees and their families with advice on what to do and how to respond to a range of emergency situations, similar to the tragic events on Friday.
Jean-François Plante, CEO and founder of Cobalt, commented “we are shocked and deeply saddened by the events in Paris last week and wanted to do something to help support and reassure businesses in the region and their employees. There will be many businesses looking at how they respond and advise their employees who may be held back by budget constraints or lack of awareness that such business support tools exist. Therefore, we will be offering our Cobalt Docs application to Paris-based businesses free of charge. We can also help them to write and create such plans if they don’t have processes in place.”
Operating on any device, Cobalt’s mobile application gives business managers the ability to update plans and share vital information in real time, ensuring that every employee has the most accurate information and advice at their fingertips in the event of an incident. Through the Cobalt Docs, staff can be provided with both general and role specific emergency procedures and crucial contact information even when their device is offline.
Cobalt has recently been recognised by the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) and is one of only four companies in the world to achieve entry into its prestigious Hall of Fame.
