NTT DATA Inc. a Japanese-based, global IT services provider, today announced the launch of Ntercept, a mobile app developed to provide personal safety assistance to victims during a crisis situation. The app has been released during the National Association of Software and Services Companies' (NASSCOM) Diversity and Inclusion Summit 2015 in Bangalore.
Ntercept was originally created as part of an innovation initiative supporting female employees' safety in India, one of the company's largest employee bases. Ntercept is now publically available in both India and the U.S., and both Android and iOS versions of the app are available. A Windows version is in development. "Women make up a sizeable and important component of our workforce and, as a company, we feel we have a responsibility to contribute to their safety - and that can be extended to all our colleagues and their families," said Madhavi Singala, vice president, delivery excellence leader and chairperson of the Women Initiative at NTT DATA.
The Ntercept mobile app, once triggered, makes an emergency call and simultaneously sends text messages to a person's designated SOS contact list. The SOS message will then be sent every two minutes with a distress message and the current location of the mobile user. The app also records the voice conversation at the site, which can be very useful as evidence in any future investigations.
