Everbridge Wins Frost & Sullivan 2020 Critical Event Management (CEM) Technology Leadership Award

Everbridge’s Award-winning CEM Platform, Used by Organizations Globally to Mitigate the COVID-19 Pandemic, Receives Recognition as the Industry’s Most Comprehensive Solution for Monitoring and Managing Incidents Before They Impact Life Safety and Business Operations

BURLINGTON, Mass. – May 27, 2020 – Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management (CEM), today announced that it has earned Frost & Sullivan’s prestigious 2020 Technology Leadership Award for best practices in the critical event management industry. This award recognizes companies that demonstrate excellence in growth, innovation, and leadership in their respective industries.

“Everbridge provides a best-in-class Critical Event Management platform that enables organizations to break down the silos between their physical and cyber security teams to create one unified platform with actionable intelligence to ensure the safety and security of their employees and property,” said Danielle VanZandt, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Frost & Sullivan is honoring Everbridge with this Technology Leadership Award because of its demonstrated and revolutionary Critical Event Management platform and the company’s innovative technology, customer-centric design, impressive partner network, and strong overall performance,” added VanZandt.

Frost & Sullivan previously recognized Everbridge as the 2019 Technology Leader in the critical event management industry.  Since winning the last award, Everbridge has continued to demonstrate innovation on its platform by adding new extensions such as CEM for Supply Chain and CEM for Internet of Things (IoT), more than doubling its number of CEM customers, and announcing blue-chip wins including some of the world’s most recognized brands and Fortune 500 companies such as financial leader Goldman Sachs, health care retailer CVS Health, luxury brand Tiffany & Co., insurance providers like Anthem, which ranks #33 on the Fortune 100, telecom consumer electronics company Nokia, as well as some of Silicon Valley’s leading tech giants, global e-commerce firms, streaming media services, and public sector agencies including United States Department of Labor and New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority. 

“Given Frost & Sullivan’s status as a global and independent market research leader in the evaluation of pioneering and disruptive technologies, Everbridge feels honored to be recognized for the second year in a row for providing the top Critical Event Management platform in the industry,” said David Meredith, CEO, Everbridge. “As organizations face the prospect of dealing with the ongoing direct threat of the coronavirus to their people’s health and safety, as well as indirect damage to their operations, supply chain and brand, CEM provides a formalized, unified approach that leverages best practices across the enterprise.”

As stated in the report, “Everbridge CEM saves security operators valuable time by alerting them to incidents minutes or hours before they could manually piece together the data to create a whole picture of an incident. CEM even detects information technology systems’ disruptions and events that could prevent an employee from traveling safely, enabling clients to experience minimal operational downtime, ultimately decreasing OPEX and increasing revenues.”

As the global leader in critical event management and public warning, Everbridge and its platform reach over 550 million people across the world while serving leading Fortune 500 companies as well as cities, states, and entire countries.

In response to COVID-19, Everbridge quickly launched a coronavirus data feed which supplements its existing real-time risk intelligence based on 22,000 data sources across 175 countries.  To date, the Everbridge platform has delivered over 370 million communications specific to coronavirus, and launched its COVID-19 Shield rapid deployment software templates to protect people and maintain operations amid the pandemic. 

More recently, Everbridge introduced its COVID-19 “Return to Work” and Contact Tracing solutions to help customers manage the process of bringing back their people to offices and other public places, while mitigating the threat of coronavirus. 

In recent months, Everbridge has also been named a 2020 “Great Place To Work,” “Overall Best in Category” in the Emergency Mass Notification Software category for the Spring 2020 Customer Success Report published by FeaturedCustomers, Top Enterprise IT Alerting and Incident Management Solution by IT Central Station, one of Boston’s Best Places to Work in 2020, Growth Company of the Year by the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council, and received the Department of Defense’s prestigious Above and Beyond Award for promoting supportive work environments for members of the U.S. National Guard and Reserve.
