Yes. As part of our need to be proactive about problems instead of
reactive, my company has built a notification system around our apps
that can trigger phone calls if that is what the user has requested when
a notification is properly weighted to rise to that level of response.

We also have a on call line that we can point to anyones phone. These
responses can be pointed to our on call line and then redirect to the
proper cell phone.
