On this daily tech podcast, I explore how technology affects areas that you wouldn’t normally associate with technology. Today I wanted to look into a solution that helps people who are caught in the middle of disasters, attacks, business disruptions, and cyber attacks. Everbridge is the global leader in critical event management and enterprise safety applications that automate and accelerate an organization’s operational response to critical events in order to keep people safe and businesses running faster.
During public safety threats such as active shooter situations, terrorist attacks or severe weather conditions, as well as critical business events such as IT outages or cyber-attack incidents, over 4,400 global customers rely on the company’s SaaS-based platform to quickly and reliably aggregate and assess threat data, locate people at risk and responders able to assist, automate the execution of pre-defined communications processes, and track progress on executing response plans.
The company’s critical event management and enterprise safety applications include Mass Notification, Incident Management, IT Alerting, Safety Connection™, Community Engagement®, Visual Command Center®, Crisis Commander®, and CareConverge™, and are easy-to-use and deploy, secure, highly scalable and reliable.
Everbridge CEO Jaime Ellertson joins me for a conversation full of valuable insights around technology and crisis management. As CEO, Ellertson oversees the companyʼs strategic vision and corporate growth. He continues to spearhead the companyʼs market evolution and emergence as the global leader in Critical Event Management.
Before its acquisition by Everbridge, Ellertson was the CEO and Chairman of CloudFloor Corporation, a company he founded in 2010 focused on the emerging enterprise cloud computing market. Prior to CloudFloor, Ellertson served as CEO of Gomez Inc., the foremost Internet Performance Management provider, from 2005 to 2010. During his tenure, he led the company through an IPO registration that resulted in the successful sale of Gomez to Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) in October of 2009.
Ellertson has also served as CEO, President and Director of S1 Corporation, the first internet bank and a leading financial services provider from 2000-2005. From 1997 to 2000 Mr. Ellertson served as President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Interleaf Inc. (NASDAQ: LEAF) which was successfully acquired by BroadVision. Additionally, Mr. Ellertson has founded several high growth software companies including Document Automation Corporation (1982-1987), Openware Technologies (1990-1995) and Purview Technologies Inc. (1996-1997).
