OnPage, the power of waking up at 3 am
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
OnPage is used for our after-hours calls. When someone calls in after hours, they leave a voice message. OnPage will alert our phones and we can handle this message. If we don't after a set time, it is escalated to our managers. It allows a flexible scheduling type. For example, if I am going to be out my on-call week, we can easily switch it over to another user. Overall, it's been useful.
