A variety if sectors, including government and healthcare organizations, will be able to leverage CEM to mitigate risks from coronavirus (COVID-19).
Through integrating millions COVID-19 related communications deployed by Everbridge, the expansion of CEM for IoT enhances coronavirus-related use cases to better protect people, operations, supply chain and brand.
The company will also improve the ability to coordinate first responders and other critical healthcare resources such as intensive care unit (ICU) beds, respirators and expert medical staff based on real-time data on the broader impact of COVID-19.
