“I was really inspired by Everbridge’s mission. Coming from non-profits, it’s important to me to do work that makes a difference in people’s lives.” –Cristal Amin, Burlington Office Manager

A Mission That Matters

The Everbridge platform enables large organizations — including city and state governments, universities, hospitals, and corporations — to instantly communicate with their constituents when seconds matter.

We get to see the results of these critical communications in the news nearly every day.

During Hurricane Matthew, more than 900 counties, cities, businesses, transportation authorities and hospitals — including the state of Florida — used Everbridge to send millions of messages to keep people in the storm’s path informed, connected, and safe.
During the Boston Marathon bombing, the city used Everbridge to call in additional police and to mobilize command posts, while companies with nearby offices used Everbridge to check on the safety of employees.
When a global coffee retailer needs to recall an item, they use Everbridge to know which stores carry the item and to alert employees right at the register.
When Mayo Clinic wanted to assess stroke patients en route to the hospital, Everbridge allowed them to “dial into” ambulances via video and messaging, letting physicians shave key minutes off treatment time.

The Market Leader

In 2016, Everbridge’s SaaS-based solutions suite helped customers deliver:

over 1.5 billion messages in
200+ countries and territories
on 100+ communication devices

Organizations using Everbridge include:

9 of the 10 largest U.S. cities
9 of the 10 largest U.S.-based investment banks
6 of the 10 largest auto manufacturers
25 of the 25 busiest North American airports
4 of the 10 largest U.S.-based healthcare providers

A Product with Impact

The Everbridge critical communications platform is more customizable, reliable, and scalable than its competitors and serves all industry verticals.

To make sure our team members feel challenged and that they are learning valuable new skills that support their ongoing career growth, we offer various sales trainings, such as for the Sandler and Challenger models.

Founded To Help

Everbridge was founded in 2002 in Glendale, Ca., catalyzed by the Sept. 11 attacks, with the goal of improving the way organizations communicate and locate their people in critical situations.

A Successful IPO

In 2012, Jaime Ellertson joined Everbridge as CEO and opened our Boston-area East Coast Headquarters, bringing decades of experience running successful technology companies to the role. Under his vision, and supported by an equally experienced executive team, Everbridge has expanded its offerings and increased its market share, leading to a successful IPO in September 2016.

Everbridge is steadily adding to its 500+ employees across its global offices.
