June 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Emergency Communications Network (ECN), a mass notification provider headquartered in Ormond Beach, Florida, has acquired One Call Now’s Government Emergency Center / 911 clients, adding them to the thousands of ECN client communities nationwide.

One Call Now (OCN) specializes in communication solutions for businesses, education and non-profit groups, delivering “Messages That Matter” to inform and engage regularly with staff, families and members of their organizations globally.

A new partnership program between the two firms will assure that both company’s respective clients and prospects will get the ideal services and tools that best fit their needs. This acquisition allows both ECN and OCN to focus on their respective core competencies.    

“A majority of ECN clients are city, local and state agencies that require critical, high-speed mass notification to inform both internal and external audiences of time-sensitive messages,” said David DiGiacomo, President & CEO of ECN. “This is an important acquisition for ECN as we continue to grow and specialize in the citizen notification market."

OCN’s Government Emergency Center / 911 Citizen Notification clients will immediately benefit from the market expertise of ECN’s patented technology, including a web-based mapping interface. The software, written and exclusively hosted by ECN, allows clients to quickly and easily target their messages to exact geographic areas.
