In acquiring SnapComms, Everbridge and their worldwide client network have access to the complete spectrum of employee communications and messaging solutions. The core Everbridge critical event management system is now complemented with SnapComms’ suite of high-priority alerts, scrolling tickers, digital signage and questionnaires, to inform and engage employees during both planned and unplanned events. Many Kiwi consumers may not be familiar with the business-to-business products owned by Everbridge, but they will be familiar with the outputs. The Everbridge platform provides emergency warnings and alerts on a country-wide scale for mobile populations in New Zealand, Australia and abroad.
