Furthermore, the Everbridge solution can inform the company’s management and notify the impacted users or customers of the IT issue. “IT departments must be ready to handle major IT incidents 24 hours a day. That means they need the ability to quickly connect with the right on-call people to solve the problem, at any time, and wherever these people might be located,” said Vincent Geffray, Sr. Director, IT Alerting, Everbridge. He continued: “The integrations we offer with Remedy, Smart IT and Remedyforce allow our BMC customers to streamline and automate their service desk alerting and escalation activities. As a result, BMC Remedy clients should see their incident time to resolution shortened, alert fatigue reduced with targeted notifications and the number of inbound calls to the service desk trimmed down by proactively notifying the impacted users of incident status.” Everbridge IT Alerting for BMC Remedy now fully certified, offers:
