Everbridge, Inc., today announced that the State of Tennessee has selected Everbridge as its partner to power daily communications for both operational and emergency-related events for all state departments and agencies.

State departments will leverage the Everbridge Critical Event Management platform to improve safety and productivity by communicating internally with all 47,500 employees, delivering regular notifications across multiple contact paths and devices related to severe weather and life safety incidents, staffing and HR announcements, power outages, IT incidents and more.

The State of Tennessee selected Everbridge due to the scalability and flexibility of its critical communications system to keep state employees safe and informed. As part of the partnership, all local and county governments, non-profit hospital and state universities will be able to purchase and deploy Everbridge using the state contract. 

“With our new partnership with the State of Tennessee, we are excited to extend our presence in the region, as well as demonstrate the value that our solution can deliver on a coordinated basis across all state departments and agencies,” said Jaime Ellertson, CEO of Everbridge. “We look forward to working with state officials and employees to support their critical communication, coordination and productivity objectives during a wide range of events and incidents.”
