PIER Systems
PIER Systems, acquired by O'Brien's in 2009, offers an all-in-one, web-based solution for crisis communications management, mass notification, public and media relations, employee communications, business continuity and more.
PIER evolved out of the response to a large-scale industrial accident in the Pacific Northwest US in 1999. It was clear communicators at that time were not equipped to meet the rising demand for instant information via the Internet. PIER formed in August 2000 and is continuously evolving to accommodate today's latest technologies.
PIER is used by many Fortune 500 companies and leading organizations including the American Red Cross, BP, Boeing, NASA, USDA, and the US Coast Guard. PIER's robust features provide the technology needed to communicate during routine events, minor incidents and major catastrophes affecting employees, the public, investors, the media, and other key stakeholders.
