2nd Watch case study

Everbridge has significantly improved 2nd Watch’s response time during business-critical outages. With one click of a button, the company can activate an incident template to get the right people on a conference bridge to begin the transition from incident identification to response and triage. With Everbridge, the response time has improved from roughly 30 minutes, to around 5 minutes.

How 2nd Watch Leverages Everbridge
