Everbridge BC in the Cloud

BC in the Cloud is Everbridge's business continuity and disaster recovery planning product, and its position within the wider Everbridge portfolio is the reason to consider it rather than a standalone planning tool.

Everbridge is primarily known for critical event management and mass notification, and the connection between planning and notification is where continuity actually succeeds or fails. A plan describes who should be told what during an incident, but knowing that and being able to reach several thousand people within minutes are different capabilities. Organisations that keep the plan in one system and the notification capability in another discover the seam during the incident, when someone has to translate a document into a contact list under time pressure.

The surrounding products make that integration concrete: Everbridge 360 manages critical events at scale across the enterprise, xMatters resolves IT incidents through automation, Travel Risk Management covers travelling and remote employees, Control Center integrates disparate physical security systems, and Response Management coordinates incidents in real time.

Travel risk deserves note as a continuity concern rather than a duty-of-care one alone. An organisation with staff in a country experiencing civil unrest or a natural disaster has both an obligation to those people and an operational problem, and the two are handled by the same information.

Published use cases are unusually specific: DORA compliance, organisational resilience, AI-powered resilience, active assailant, cybersecurity, travel risk, civil unrest, inclement weather, event risk, business continuity, workplace safety, executive protection, crisis communication and natural disaster.

Industry coverage spans sixteen sectors from commercial real estate to pharmaceutical and state and local government. A trial of Everbridge 360 is offered. Pricing is not published.
