Failure response procedure and system
First Claim
1. A method of responding to a failure, comprising:
- preparing a bridge having an address of a telecommunication system for common access by a predetermined group of resources;
sending an alpha communication communicating the telecommunication system address to the predetermined group of resources;
coordinating resources through the bridge to correct the failure; and
sending a final message to the predetermined group of resources by the telecommunication system when the failure has been corrected;
wherein preparing a bridge comprises a simultaneous interactive process between a plurality of resources communicating over a common communication channel.

Abstract
A failure response method is provided. The method includes preparing a bridge having an address of a telecommunication system for common access by a predetermined group of resources, sending an alpha communication communicating the telecommunication system address to the predetermined group of resources, coordinating the resources through the bridge to correct the failure, and sending a final message to the predetermined group of resources by the telecommunication system when the failure has been corrected. A failure response system is also provided. The failure response system includes a storage device containing contact data for a predetermined group of resources to be utilized when responding to a failure and an address of a telecommunication system for common access by the predetermined group of resources. The system also includes a processor containing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to retrieve the contact data for the predetermined group of resources from the storage device, retrieve the address of the telecommunication system from the storage device and send an alpha communication communicating the telecommunication system address to the predetermined group of resources. A computer readable medium is also disclosed.
