PIER Systems was formed in August, 2000 to provide on-demand solutions to meet the ever increasing demand for fast, direct and transparent communications. The PIER System evolved out of a large-scale industrial accident that occurred in the Pacific Northwest in 1999. It was clear that the currently available technologies were not enabling communicators to meet the rapidly rising demand for instant information in the Internet age. PIER was specifically designed to put all vital tools needed by communicators into a single, easy-to-use Web-based platform in order to improve speed, efficiency and information control.

Since its introduction, PIER has become the most widely adopted full spectrum on-demand communication management technology. It is used by many of the world’s leading oil and energy companies, by major federal agencies, by leading universities, major corporations and a large number of smaller government agencies, non-profits and commercial enterprises. The PIER System continues to evolve and grow rapidly in response to active use by hundreds of communication professionals. From its initial base of users focused on crisis communications, PIER has expanded to include all urgent and critical communication applications in both large and small organizations.

Originally incorporated as PIER System, Inc., in 2003 the corporation name was changed to AudienceCentral, Inc.  In August, 2007 the name was changed back to PIER Systems, Inc. PIER is an increasingly recognized brand for full spectrum communication management. The company is headquartered in Bellingham, Washington.

PIER Systems, Inc. is Now an O'Brien's Company

O’Brien’s Response Management Inc. (O'Brien'sRM), a global provider of environmental compliance, emergency preparedness, response management, disaster services and crisis management for numerous industry sectors and government agencies, acquired PIER Systems Inc. on December 1st, 2009.
