Burlington, Mass. March 10, 2020: Everbridge, Inc. a company in the critical event management (CEM) space has unveiled new CEM capabilities across the Internet of Things (IoT) for corporate, government and healthcare organisations to protect their people, assets, operations, supply chain and brand from critical events such as coronavirus (COVID-19).
Everbridge said in a press release that the CEM platform will feature a new IoT extension module that will also leverage the intellectual property from recent technology acquisitions of Connexient and CNL Software. As a result, organisations will be able to gather a broader range of situational intelligence and automate targeted responses throughout their entire safety, security, and operational continuum – from across a global footprint to within campuses and facilities.
The Everbridge CEM platform enables organisations to use electronic data, including IoT sensors, to digitally transform how they manage the safety and security of their employees, customers, patients, first responders, residents, and visitors, as well as the resiliency of their operations and supply chain. CEM for IoT extends the number of use cases for the Everbridge platform within the broader critical event management market, complementing the company’s existing offerings for supply chain and wearable devices.
Companies, governments and healthcare organizations have already utilised CEM to mitigate risks from coronavirus with several million COVID-19 related communications deployed by Everbridge in recent weeks, claimed the company.
The acquisitions of Connexient and CNL Software augment the IoT capabilities of the Everbridge CEM Platform bringing the total number of out-of-the-box integrations to over 225. Integrations include numerous healthcare systems, indoor positioning, digital wayfinding, building management, access control, intruder detection, video management, and many more.
“The CEM platform monitors threat data streams continuously, alerts stakeholders when there is a relevant issue, and automatically orchestrates a coordinated response—it is always on,” said Imad Mouline, Chief Technology Officer of Everbridge in a written statement.
