(NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management (CEM), today announced its Customer Support team earned two Silver 2021 Stevie® Awards in the categories of “Customer Service Department of the Year” and “Customer Service Team of the Year.” The awards showcase the Support Team’s ongoing commitment to helping Everbridge customers manage major threats to life safety and continuity of business and IT operations.
