Everbridge’s Expanding Offerings

Recently, Everbridge announced the expansion of its SaaS platform to launch a comprehensive integrated suite of digital and physical resiliency solutions. Critical Event Management (CEM) provides ‘must have’ standards that CEOs and boards for monitoring operational risks arising from unplanned events. The expanded platform gives organizations a comprehensive end-to-end operating environment so they can take a closed-loop approach in the way they manage critical events, while also delivering improved return on investments, increased revenue, and reduced costs.

Additionally, Everbridge announced the availability of its new app, ManageBridge. The app has enhanced crisis management and reporting features, allowing organizations to anticipate and respond to natural, manmade, and digital critical events in real-time, from any mobile device. Dispatchers and incident managers can use the app to orchestrate incident resolution and communicate with both senior management and technical teams.

Everbridge also expanded its government offerings with the release of its Resident Connection Solution that maximizes the reach of critical life safety alerts. Resident Connection allows government agencies to reach the most vulnerable and often underserved populations such as people with special needs, limited mobility, with medical issues, and even those lacking internet access. It provides Everbridge customers with access to precise and complete details on name, address, and phone numbers for residents. The data has been aggregated from over 300 verified sources and geo-coded to home, street, or zip code. It contains details on over 225 million residents and 28 million business contacts to allow local governments to address emergency conditions at a faster pace.

The app is being successfully used by several government agencies. For instance, the State of Connecticut is using the service for its alert systems. The Government noted that in the event of an emergency, the app helped them double the number of people that they are able to communicate with.

Everbridge has a slew of competitors within the market including names like xMatters, E2open, Spok Holdings, TigerConnect, and Alert Media. But customers in the market are rather sticky and Everbridge’s superior product and experience in the industry has helped it grow.

Its stock is trading at $125.45 with a market capitalization of $4.55 billion. It hit a 52-week low of $95.40 in April last year and a 52-week high of $178.98 in February of this year.
