PITTSFORD, N.Y., March 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Lenel and
Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG) today announced an alliance to
interface their leading solutions. With the combination of Lenel's
OnGuard® platform and Everbridge's Safety Connection® software,
organizations will now be able to offer comprehensive security
management on-premises and off-premises – to help protect and
notify employees, contractors or visitors during critical incidents
regardless of their location. With the Everbridge interface, system
users can now aggregate data about severe weather, terrorism and
other incidents and use last-known location data to locate
potentially at-risk individuals and nearby first responders and
enable two-way communication. Lenel is part of UTC Climate,
Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:
UTX).
The alliance will provide users with a more powerful solution to
deliver critical communications, including real-time assessment and
notification of important safety information. Safety Connection's
ability to actively collect, assess and respond to events from
OnGuard and external data inputs provides users with a real global
view of their environment and potential threats to their
workforce.
"The interface of the Everbridge Safety Connection software with
the OnGuard system provides a unique opportunity for our customers
– a 360-degree solution," says Ron
Virden, managing director, global access solutions, Lenel.
"As Lenel continues to enhance its value proposition from an
on-premises platform to a complete, mobile security solution,
Safety Connection plays a critical role. With the increasing
complexity and frequency of global threats, it is no longer
adequate to just look at doors and video within the enterprise.
Lenel can now deliver a solution that helps protect people wherever
they actually are."
Everbridge's Safety Connection collects multiple data inputs.
These include severe environmental conditions, terrorism and other
threat intelligence feeds and incident reports. The system then
locates people and responders and enables two-way communication so
security teams can provide instructions to and confirm if people
are safe or need help. Its certified interface to the OnGuard
system enables Safety Connection users to acquire
last-known-location data to aid in locating employees, contractors
or visitors during critical incidents. Safety Connection can
synthesize data from company wired and wireless network access
points, travel itineraries, home and office location records, and
check-ins through its mobile application to take a multi-pronged
approach to locating people. The solution also offers panic button
functionality through a mobile application that employees can use
to send a geo-tagged SOS message to their security team when they
are in distress.
"With an increasingly mobile workforce, distributed teams and
large campuses, organizations cannot rely on physical and perimeter
security alone to keep people safe," says Jaime Ellertson, CEO of Everbridge. "The Lenel
and Everbridge alliance showcases our commitment to transforming
the traditional paradigm of physical security – by enabling
customers to locate and assist people wherever they are—whether
that is on or off the premises."
Lenel and Everbridge will be presenting a demo of their joint
solution at The Great Conversation in Security conference,
Seattle, Washington, on
March 6-7, and at ISC West in
Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 5-7.
Everbridge Safety Connection is available now through Lenel
value added resellers worldwide.
