GovDelivery is rolling out some major enhancements this weekend that will super-charge performance for our 1000 customers, while continuing to solidify ourselves as the most powerful tool for outreach in the public sector.
2013 was an exciting year for GovDelivery and its clients. Public sector organizations used GovDelivery to send over 5 billion critical digital communications using email, text messages, and social media.
GovDelivery clients also surpassed 65 million as the number of people signed up for specific digital updates from the government. And, there is more public demand than ever for direct information from the public sector. On average, 30,000 new people sign up every day for public sector updates through GovDelivery, on topics ranging from local events to national emergencies.
GovDelivery has delivered unrivaled scalability, security, message delivery speeds, and system uptime over the past 10+ years. As clients increasingly rely on GovDelivery as a primary means of supporting critical outreach to massive audiences, we have made sure that our plans and investments support these needs. In fact, we have invested more in infrastructure in the past 24 months than in the previous 10 years.
This weekend, on Saturday, October 19th, GovDelivery will continue its investment in supporting clients’ needs by bringing a new data center online. The new data center supports a forward-looking and highly-secure system architecture, greater redundancy, and physical space for growth.
Affect on Clients
GovDelivery will perform scheduled system maintenance on Saturday, October 19th during which time, clients will not be able to access GovDelivery. This will be explained in a maintenance window announcement from our Client Services team. Future maintenance planned for the end of 2013 or early 2014 will also result in additional increases in performance. Our Client Services team will inform you of any maintenance windows that will affect your access to our systems ahead of time.
Validating our Commitment to Security
GovDelivery has undergone hundreds of hours of outside system testing and audits this year to ensure that our security procedures stand up to the high standards of our clients around the world. You can read the article below for more information.
