Talk:Everbridge

Everbridge
Hi! I'm a paid editor for the Everbridge page and have disclosed my COI on my userpage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Clementine_Sandoval. Below are changes that I'd like to make to the introduction; new sections that follow have been added to the "New Section" tab. This submission in general is essentially an expansion of the article, which is currently only 2 paragraphs long — this is the first time I've done this in a very long time so please excuse any errors!


 * What I think should be changed (include citations):

Everbridge is an international supplier of enterprise software applications that provide information about critical events for personal safety and business continuity. The American company is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, and counts approximately 1,300 employees located across five offices in the United States and thirteen in Europe and Asia.

In 2016, Everbridge raised $90 million in an IPO, becoming a publicly traded company (EVBG) on the Nasdaq stock exchange. In 2017, its revenues totaled $104 million. Three years later, that figure rose 160 percent to $271 million.

The company’s customers span a range of industries and sectors. Examples include the University of Mississippi, U.S. Army, West Virginia, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and the countries of Norway, Peru, and Australia.

The above additions will give readers a more complete understanding of Everbridge.

Where sources did not support the suggested text or text was unsourced, it wasn't included. The awards were not included due to lack of notability. PK650 (talk) 02:07, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

History
Formerly known as 3n Global, a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Notification Network, the company was founded in 2002 in response to the September 11 attacks to assist with crisis coordination. It changed its name to Everbridge in April 2009.

In 2013, the company’s multimodal approach to communications allowed Everbridge to reach detectives and the Boston Police Department during the Boston Marathon bombing, when overloaded or blocked cell service prevented many local citizens from receiving phone calls. Since then, Everbridge has twice provided its services pro bono to the Boston Athletic Association to communicate important event and safety updates to the marathon’s thousands of volunteers.

Sony Pictures also used the company’s products to communicate with its employees after being hacked in 2014, and in 2016, the City of Santa Clarita, California, used Everbridge products to share updates with visitors to the Super Bowl. The company’s products and services have also been used for the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California.

In addition, Everbridge has been used to alert residents and first responders during Hurricanes Sandy and Dorian, as well as the wildfires along the West Coast of the United States in 2020.

The company also saw a jump in users during the COVID-19 pandemic, when businesses, governments, schools, hospitals, and organizations experienced a heightened need to reach customers, workers, residents, students, and patients with evolving information as conditions related to the global public health crisis continued to shift.

Everbridge products and services are informed by a variety of sources, including (but not limited to) threat data, social media, traffic cameras, 9-1-1 data, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and local and state entities.
