When Signals Connect, Action Follows

BlackBerry AtHoc for Mission Orchestration

When conditions change faster than organizations can adapt, operations fail. BlackBerry® AtHoc® provides a consistent operational structure that turns fragmented signals into coordinated action across people, systems, and agencies, helping mission-critical organizations respond with clarity and control.

Modern Crisis Response

The Reality of Modern Operations

Operations rarely fail due to a lack of tools. They fail when information is scattered, understanding lags behind events, and coordination breaks down under pressure. Signals surface across disconnected systems. Field input arrives late or without context. Workflows shift from incident to incident. Teams are left to improvise coordination as conditions change. This is not a scale or alerting problem. It is a structural one, and in mission-critical environments that gap directly affects response and resilience.

Core Capabilities

Coordinate and Respond in Critical Moments

BlackBerry AtHoc is an integrated platform enabling resilient communication, real-time awareness, and coordinated response across teams, systems, and environments during critical events.

Engineered for Mission-Scale Resilience

Built to operate reliably during large-scale, high-demand events. BlackBerry AtHoc maintains performance, message delivery, and system visibility as activity spikes and infrastructure is strained, supporting continuity when operations are under pressure.

Automated Operational Workflows

A consistent workflow supports detection, notification, accountability, coordination, and recovery. Integration with Microsoft Entra ID automates personnel data synchronization, helping teams maintain current records and execute established processes without manual intervention.

Mobile-Enabled Operations

The BlackBerry AtHoc mobile application enables two-way participation, structured reporting, and reliable communication in challenging environments. Alerts can also be delivered through familiar channels, including WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams, with all responses captured in the same alert record.

Coordinated Situational Awareness

Alerts, personnel status, field reports, maps, geofences, and connected systems are consolidated into a single operational view. Teams work from a shared operational picture, with response comments and updates providing real-time context for faster decision-making.

Precise Geo- and Attribute-Based Targeting

Messages and actions can be targeted by role, location, organization, and operational context. Support for secure ArcGIS layers and custom maps enables teams to deliver relevant information to the right people while reducing unnecessary notifications.

Unified Operational View

Communication, accountability, field activity, and operational status remain aligned in a shared environment. Leaders and responders maintain a common understanding as conditions change, improving coordination and reducing confusion.

Outcomes at-a-glance

Build a More Effective Response System

A consistent operational structure produces measurable improvements across incidents and daily operations, helping organizations move from reactive alerting to coordinated, mission-critical response.

Faster, More Confident Decisions

Shared awareness and structured input shorten decision cycles and reduce uncertainty as conditions change, enabling leaders to act with greater confidence.

Coordinated Action Across Teams and Agencies

Aligned workflows ensure responders, operators, and partners act from the same view without conflicting actions, especially in multi-organization environments.

Reduced Operational and Human Impact

Clear targeting and real-time accountability stabilize situations faster and limit downstream disruption, helping protect both people and operations.

Confidence in Compliance and Accountability

Structured workflows, audit trails, and validated delivery support regulatory and governance requirements, providing traceable and defensible action logs.

Delivery Channels

Reach People on the Channels They Already Use

An alert only works if it reaches someone on a channel they read and recognize. BlackBerry AtHoc delivers to personal and workplace channels from one operator workflow, and returns every response to the same alert record.

Microsoft Teams

Alerts arrive in Microsoft Teams through an app approved, installed, and pinned by administrators within your organization's tenant. The experience is the same on desktop and mobile, and responses report back into the alert record.

WhatsApp

Alerts reach recipients on WhatsApp from a verified business profile, with response options they tap to report status. Recipients add their number and provide consent through Self Service, while sent, accepted, delivered, and read statuses are recorded in BlackBerry AtHoc.

Every Channel You Already Run

SMS, email, voice, desktop pop-up, and mobile app push continue to run alongside them. Channels can fail independently, so using multiple delivery paths helps ensure notifications continue to reach recipients.

Check-ins reach people on the channels they respond to fastest, including WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams, and every reply rolls up into the same operational view.

Activate Workforce for Operational Recovery

Determine staff availability during outages or disruptions and coordinate workforce recovery activities to restore services faster, reducing downtime and accelerating recovery.
