PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwire - October 5, 2010) - xMatters, inc., the relevance engine company, today announced that LifeQuest Transitions is using an xMatters relevance engine to communicate and track attendees confirmed for upcoming events. LifeQuest Transitions is an organization that facilitates adventure-based training and activities for wounded, ill or injured soldiers. Curriculum-based programs are executed through physical training and the instruction of orienteering, trekking, and various other activities to those soldiers in, or approaching a transition out of the military.
LifeQuest Transitions works with the Warriors in Transition Battalion to engage wounded soldiers in daily physical training and bi-monthly adventure trips. This unique population has many demands placed on them between appointments, jobs and schooling. LifeQuest needed a way to drive awareness of the organization and continuously engage and communicate to those who were interested when the activities were taking place.
"Flyers around the base weren't getting the attention of the soldiers in transition," said Cindy Brandt, Communications Director, LifeQuest Transitions. "With the help of the xMatters (growth) engine, we're able to communicate on a regular basis and deliver messages directly to them in multiple formats, which was one of the highlights. It's been a great solution to organize the events and drive awareness of our organization."
The xMatters (growth) engine gives LifeQuest the opportunity to communicate to soldiers prior to an event giving them an opportunity to register and plan according to their schedule. The advance communication also helps LifeQuest with planning and preparations in scheduling of staff, equipment needs, etc. With the relevance engine, LifeQuest sends out SMS messages, emails and phone calls to soldiers letting them know about upcoming events and giving them the ability to easily RSVP through two-way communication capabilities.
LifeQuest Transitions is currently utilizing the xMatters (growth) engine at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, CO, and plans to expand the use to other bases around the country working with the Army Warrior Transition Battalions.

About LifeQuest Transitions
Wounded soldiers in the United States military suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder, often with accompanying physical injuries, have been recognized as needing additional transitional rehabilitative services. The Army Warrior Transition Battalions (WTB) were created to address this specific need. LQTs program is designed as a complement to the Army's transitional programs, which works with these men and women to help ensure a successful life-transition from wounded soldier back to active duty or productive veteran serving in the civilian community.
