Virginia Chooses Regroup Mass Messaging and Group Notification System for Department of Education

Oct. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Richmond, VA. – The Virginia Department of Education has selected Regroup’s mass email communications service to deliver and maintain essential communications between the department and its superintendents, principals, teachers and other key education personnel.

After a rigorous RFP procurement process, the Virginia Department of Education selected Regroup’s mass messaging system not only for its user-friendly and intuitive design, but more importantly because of the superior manner in which Regroup’s mass notification system handles information.


Regroup’s system seamlessly integrates with existing databases and allows its users to self-manage critical contact information.

As is common of many government agencies, the Virginia Department of Education was burdened with having to employ a variety of communications tools and packages to communicate urgent messages. Bulletin boards were seldom checked, contact details were constantly out of date or inaccurate and there was no way of knowing whether important messages were reaching their intended recipients.


The Regroup’s mass notification and group messaging system now enables the Virginia Department of Education to:

-   Send more than 10,000 emails per minute and confirm delivery
-   Use a single, unified system to effectively communicate with the superintendents, principals and teachers throughout the entire state
-   Create and store message templates that can be quickly and easily customized and sent either to the DOE groups or to everyone
-   Allow members to quickly and securely verify and update important contact information
-   Simply and easily organize the entire state’s education professionals into notification or special interest groups
-   The opportunity to use already integrated communication tools such as text messaging, voicemail and even social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook, at with no additional cost or effort
-   Add unlimited groups and users
