While most Sony employees already were on the
Everbridge Emergency Notification System, workers
recruited the rest to sign up. If he had to do it again,
Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton said he would

“We believe that Crisis Management will go beyond communication and coordination activities associated with classic
emergency scenarios to address the operational challenges within the hospital that impact the effective delivery of care.
Already, some vendors ….such Everbridge, offer limited clinical communications and collaboration capabilities.”
- Gartner recently including Everbridge in its 2016 “Hype Cycle for Real-Time Health System Technologies”
