Case Study: University achieves fast, reliable campus-wide emergency communications for 30,000+ with Everbridge

Everbridge Receives Perfect Marks from University

A large university has relied on Everbridge for more than 10 years to deliver emergency notifications to roughly 30,000 faculty, staff, students (including online learners), campus TVs and the university website. The primary challenge was sending reliable, error‑free, life‑safety alerts (extreme weather, active shooter, etc.) quickly while minimizing the number of staff and manual steps required during a crisis.

The university re‑engineered and integrated Everbridge with multiple systems via API, created pre‑authorized templates, and centralized cloud administration so messages can be published to multiple channels from one platform. The result: alerts go out in minutes, the number of people managing notifications dropped to about five, time and error risk were greatly reduced, the solution proved stable and scalable, and support and ROI were rated extremely highly.
