    DENVER, CO, May 18, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- FrontDoorSoftware has been awarded the "Most Valuable Product" (MVP) award in the Fire / Life-Safety App category for the Rescue ME Alert app. The award was presented at the first annual Most Valuable Product Awards hosted by Security Sales & Integration (SSI) at the ISC West conference in Las Vegas last month. The SSI MVP Awards "illuminate how important products and technologies are to the success of security integration companies" (SecuritySales.com).

"We are honored to receive this award and be a part of the inaugural SSI MVP Awards program," said Carrie Hafeman, president of FrontDoorSoftware. "The Rescue ME Alert app is poised to become one of the most influential personal safety apps available and we are ecstatic to receive this highly notable recognition from our contemporaries at SSI."

Judging criteria for the 2015 SSI MVP Awards included innovation, functionality, competitive advantages, and benefits to the end user.

Rescue ME Alert is a patented mobile app that combines mobile device recovery with personal safety. This product is designed to help protect and recover equipment, protect personal information, and even help potentially save lives in dangerous situations.

The app displays owner information on the lock-screen to encourage the return of a lost or stolen mobile device. Ownership display screens have been shown to discourage and prevent a theft and to enable return of the device if it is lost. Research has shown that162,000 smart phones are lost or stolen every day in the US. Using the app to display ownership information could return thousands of devices lost at universities, airports, hotels and cabs. The customizable ownership screen appears before the security prompt on many devices and helps recovery even if the device is not online.

The product also turns the smart phone into a personal safety device that instantly and inexpensively helps provide location information when any of the Medical, Emergency, or Arrived buttons are selected. These three emergency buttons are built into the ownership display screen and are activated with a quick double-click on the button.

- The Medical (M) button will send a predetermined message that includes current location to up to four pre-selected numbers. This feature is useful for a wide range of people with pre-existing medical conditions making it easy for them to call for help without unlocking the phone, scrolling through numbers and making a phone call.

- The Emergency (E) button sends a silent, predetermined text message that includes current location to up to four preselected numbers. This emergency button can save the lives of people in sexual assault, domestic abuse, or abduction situations where making a silent and discrete call for help is the best way to prevent harm and remain safe until help can arrive.

- The Arrived (A) button sends a text message to up to four preselected people notifying them of one's safe arrival at a destination.

The Rescue ME Alert app costs $2.99 on Google Play and Apple App Store and offers a priceless amount of peace-of-mind for users to know that not only do they have theft prevention and recovery software on their devices but also several ways to easily communicate in case of emergency situations.
