Organisations face a steady stream of physical and digital risks from severe weather, environmental catastrophes, geopolitical upheaval, cyber-attacks, and everyday incidents. These events not only disrupt business operations but jeopardise employee and customer safety and threaten to interrupt critical public services and global supply chains. Critical Event Management platforms help organisations minimize the impact before, during, and after a crisis.

A February 2023 commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting highlighted the importance of CEM for organisations today. The Forrester study titled The Total Economic Impact of Everbridge Critical Event Management reveals organisations that use Everbridge’s platform were significantly better equipped with the capabilities and resources to effectively respond to and contain critical events, allowing them to better protect employees, company assets, and business processes.

Surveyed organisations in the Forrester Consulting The Total Economic Impact report demonstrated a 358% return on investment (ROI), highlighting the value of the Everbridge CEM Platform to enable “the composite organisation to maintain business operations as it can react faster to unplanned business interruptions and get information to appropriate teams to resume operations and decrease the impact of critical events.”
