Today's colleges and universities face an unprecedented number of challenges. Count meeting duty of care obligations among them, especially if the university is research-focused with a growing number of faculty and students traveling for university-sponsored activity. When a leading research institution realized that its existing travel registration procedures were not robust enough to meet its duty of care obligations, it turned to Crisis24.
With global travel resuming, study-abroad programs increasing, and staff and student levels rising due to higher levels of research activity, this client needed a way to provide intelligence to inform safe travel, track students and faculty abroad, and communicate with parties as required. Recognizing that the existing travel registration system was inadequate for their changing needs and not wanting to “buy more than they needed,” this client searched for a flexible solution, ultimately selecting Crisis24 above the competition to deliver the missing pieces it needed.
“After an industry-wide search, we selected Crisis24 for three reasons: their expansive and data-rich online platform, their multi-function and connected traveler’s app, and their dedicated team of security professionals available every step of the way. When your people and assets are far away, you want your security resources and professionals closer.”
