Everbridge Unveils New Contact Tracing Software to Contain and Mitigate COVID-19 While Facilitating the Safe Return to Work for Business, Government and Healthcare Organizations

▤ Summary

The Everbridge solution represents the digital transformation of contact tracing when compared to existing approaches which tend to fall into two more-limited categories: highly manual human calling supported by case management tools, or one of a variety of standalone opt-in-based mobile apps. The Everbridge COVID-19 Shield: Contact Tracing solution represents a fundamental paradigm shift for corporate, government and healthcare organizations to more safely return people to work with a faster, more accurate, less costly approach, that also safeguards individual privacy. If communities are unable to effectively isolate patients and ensure contacts can separate themselves from others, rapid community spread of COVID-19 is likely to increase to the point that strict mitigation strategies will again be needed to contain the virus… Technology partners are key in the modification of existing systems and the development of new user-friendly data interfaces to manage multiple data streams with seamless interoperability.” Leveraging its market-leading CEM capabilities, Everbridge provides organizations with the industry’s only end-to-end contact tracing solution that combines an existing mobile app for wellness checks and self-reporting combined with pre-existing integrations of company systems to compile a more complete set of actionable information. As a result, organizations will be able to: leverage a less expensive solution for shortening the cycle time of contact tracing and reducing the possibility of exposure; increase confidence among employees as they reintegrate into work; decrease compliance liability while providing a full audit trail; and maintain individual privacy. The company’s platform sent over 3.5 billion messages in 2019 and offers the ability to reach over 550 million people in more than 200 countries and territories, including the entire mobile populations on a country-wide scale in Australia, Greece, Iceland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Sweden, and a number of the largest states in India.
