BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management and incident response automation to help keep businesses running, today announced the launch of new features within its IT Alerting solution including Smart CMDB Group Lookup and self-service IT alert subscription. With these new capabilities, Everbridge IT Alerting enables organizations to dynamically target the correct IT fulfiller/resolver resources based on the up and downstream relationships in their CMDB, eliminating the complexities of managing logic on communication templates. Without this feature, customers would need to deploy and maintain complex logic in the form of notification rules and conditions. Ensuring simplicity, changes made to the CMDB will be automatically refreshed in the mapping table.
The new IT Alerting features also include self-service IT alert subscription capabilities for business users to receive meaningful and context-based alerts, increasing awareness and reducing overall alert fatigue. Everbridge IT Alerting helps to align people, processes and tools to an organization’s best practices, thus improving critical IT event assessment, communications and collaboration through automated workflows for faster service restoration.
In today’s business environment where major IT events are a daily threat, with the potential of creating significant negative impact on a company’s operations, IT teams must be prepared to expedite their incident resolution process. The newest capabilities for the IT Alerting solution allow for synchronization with an organization’s CMDB to identify an affected product, service, location or any impacted IT infrastructure asset. Leveraging the IT Alerting product’s closed-loop response automation, IT teams can create a holistic view of the impacted assets to consolidate and correlate the incident using Everbridge’s platform-based Critical Event Management (CEM) system for faster response and resolution.
Everbridge IT Alerting’s alert subscription services enable self-service configurability with built-in error handling so that administrators and business users can align the alerts and notifications with the specific assets they are responsible for, expediting responses based on qualified and context-rich alerts. These alerts and corresponding response processes can be continually optimized based on automation and integration with the CMDB to allow for subscriptions to respond to changing rules without onerous and manual modifications.
“IT organizations face the continual and noisy reality that only one out of every four alerts are legitimate from a ‘take action’ perspective,” said Prashant Darisi, Vice President of Product Management for Enterprise Risk, IT Alerting and IoT at Everbridge. “And, even the one important alert may lack context on how that critical event impacts the organization. By integrating with an organization’s CMDB, Everbridge helps our customers provide the necessary context to bring the right resources to resolve the issue quicker. False alerts often frustrate business users with overload. By allowing the business to define what they care for, not only are we reducing process overhead, but enabling the IT teams to focus on what really matters – fixing the problem.”
