Furthermore, the extension and connection built into the Everbridge platform expands our crisis communication capabilities to include both local and traveling employees, while leveraging critical information from TravelTracker. This functionality is absolutely key to the global organization.” Joint Partnership Activity At ASIS 2016 Integration overviews were available in the Everbridge booth at ASIS (#1773) and in the International SOS booth (#1767).
