The Challenge: Optimizing field and data center communications
Moreover, Polanco’s role as an IT analyst included identifying tools to help optimize data center operations. While encompassing maintenance and support for the network and IT systems, his responsibilities also included monitoring the facilities.
“Unless we were in the data center monitoring the console, we had limited visibility into what was happening across the network or in the data center. We needed a robust and reliable SMS platform that would meet all of our communication and alerting requirements.”

Ensuring 24×7 communications for essential notifications
“I searched for an SMS solution online, and one of the first to appear was SMSEagle,” states Polanco. “I was surprised by the number of features available and the use cases supported.”
Supporting global GSM, 3G, and 4G standards and full waveband coverage, SMSEagle’s radio modules deliver fast, reliable, and secure 2-way SMS connectivity. Bypassing the Internet and working independently of third-party providers, SMSEagle sends SMS messages directly to your cellular operator.

Supporting different cellular frequencies for delivering critical alerts
“We’ve been using SMSEagle for more than two years both in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico,” says Polanco, “and it’s been a very profitable solution for our company. Before implementing SMSEagle, we were operating blind when it came to receiving feedback from our consultants and clients. Now we can better understand our customer’s behavior and the impact of our campaigns through the comments received, resulting in better reporting and increased visibility.”
Furthermore, implementing SMSEagle in the data center provides Polanco and his team with real-time facilities and network alerting, enabling them to respond to critical incidents rapidly.
“SMS is super-effective!” declares Polanco. “Every day, we are more and more convinced of the benefits of using SMS in our business, and we see new applications for SMSEagle within the business. In the future, we plan to expand our use of SMSEagle to increase the speed and volume of communications with both consultants and customers.”
Golem MES also features an automatic alert system, proficient at independently sending SMS notifications to acousticians or automation engineers responsible for a particular production line when an anomaly is detected.
