What Connect-CTY Clients are Saying

The Connect-CTY service is the best way to provide leadership and augment your existing emergency communication systems, by providing reliable, up-to-date information in your own voice. From civic leaders to residents, people nationwide have embraced the service as a trusted notification tool. Read what just a few have to say:

"With satellite TV it may be difficult for us to ensure that residents are able to receive important health and safety information via the local media. We turned to the Connect-CTY system to augment our communication strategy and ensure that we are prepared to provide leadership when it's needed most."

- Richard A. Cohen Mayor, Agawam, MA

"...Our town had only recently initiated the Connect-CTY service. We had made the first upload of our resident phone number database and had gone through one online training session to review the basic capabilities of the system. With only that initial orientation we were able to dispatch an urgent message quickly and effectively and with positive feedback from our residents."

- Rick Smith, Deputy Director of Emergency Management, Town of St. James, NC

"By using the Connect-CTY service to follow up on our delinquent utility customers, we found that the system quickly paid for itself: approximately 80% of delinquent utility payments are recouped after calls are delivered. With more prompt payments, we can end the cycle of interrupting service to customers, and save on the cost of on-site manpower needed to shut off and restore services."

- Teresa Borders, City Manager, Brazoria, TX

"Finding a tool to communicate with our community has been an invaluable asset to me and our community. During Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, every team member contributed to our success-NTI's Connect service was one of the most important members of our team."

- Rochelle Cancienne, Director of Public Information,
St. Charles Parish Public Schools, New Orleans, LA

"Our town needed a dependable communications tool that wouldn't require us to invest in, or maintain, hardware, software, or telephone lines. I looked at many providers and found that most were too expensive, inexperienced, or lacked suitable customer support... The Connect-CTY service was the clear choice."

- Gary Hoskin, Director of Emergency Management, Ware, MA

"During Hurricane Katrina, NTI's Connect service was my only lifeline to our local area. The national news networks limited coverage to the areas that sustained the greatest damage, such as New Orleans and the Gulf Coast and, for awhile, the local news organizations weren't operating-there was no other way of knowing what was really going on in our neighborhood other than the calls we were receiving from our parish."

- Deanna Pilutti, resident, St. Charles Parish, LA
