Everbridge IT Alerting

Resolve IT incidents even faster and keep all stakeholders updated

Everbridge Integration Solution Brief

IT downtime costs organizations thousands of dollars per minute, in revenue and lost productivity, while also impacting customer experience and brand reputation. Automation helps reduce the time to resolution, the negative impacts on businesses and improve service availability.

When something goes wrong with IT, your teams need to:

• quickly understand what’s going on
• quickly reach out to the right on-call support teams to start investigating
• take the proper remediation actions
• communicate, communicate, communicate, with the IT teams, the stakeholders and the impacted consumers of the service (end-users or customers)

Ayehu’s 2-way integration with Everbridge IT Alerting now allows organizations to respond to critical issues and resolve incidents faster:

• Quickly engage your IT experts and on-call teams with error-prone messages and targeted notification
• Automatically escalate if primary staff does not respond
• Provide 1-click access conference bridges for technical teams and management
• Inform stakeholders and notify impacted customers
• Automate the remediation steps directly from the notification received on your smartphone
• Reduce the overall time to resolution even further by eliminating the time between receiving an alert and executing the remediation action.

How it Works

Never miss an important notification again and reduce Alert fatigue by:

• Sending targeted call/notification to the right IT staff based on who’s on call
• Contacting IT personnel until they respond via phone, SMS, mobile app push notification, and more
• Escalating to the next person in line and/or management if they don’t respond
• Trigger the execution of a workflow directly from your smartphone, from anywhere, at any time
