Everbridge, Inc, the US critical communications software company, has acquired the Swedish company Svensk Krisledning AB, the developer of the SaaS mobile crisis management product, Crisis Commander.
That Crisis Commander product business continuity and security users as it can provide mobile access to recovery, crisis and brand protection plans, as well as to manage a crisis or event through role-based assignments and status updates. The product is used by over 100 customers, including Volvo Group, Nestle S.A., Siemens Sweden, Nissan Motor Company, The Absolut Group and Tui Group.
Jaime Ellertson, CEO of Everbridge said: “Organisations have traditionally relied on paper and binders to record and store their crisis plans, but that practice is very outdated in a mobile world. Crisis Commander naturally fits with our commitment to helping organizations be better prepared to keep people safe and to rapidly respond to business incidents. The solution makes the coordination, collaboration, and follow-through of response during an event more transparent and auditable.”
The buying firm says that Crisis Commander product is highly complementary to the Everbridge products.
Thomas Hagström, CEO, Svensk Krisledning AB said: “The opportunity to join forces with the Everbridge team presented a strategic opportunity for the Crisis Commander team. We can now merge our robust mobile collaboration offerings with the industry leader for critical communications to offer the strongest crisis management and response solution in the industry. We are excited about joining the Everbridge team and continuing our journey of serving the business continuity and crisis management efforts of organizations around the globe.”
Svensk Krisledning is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Everbridge, and the company’s employees will remain based in Stockholm.
