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.
