BlackBerry has announced BlackBerry Alert, a critical event management (CEM) solution designed to help commercial organizations respond to and recover from major incidents.
Organizations can use BlackBerry Alert to deliver clear, timely information to relevant stakeholders during a critical incident, the company said. In doing so, they can reduce an incident's impact on their operations and customers.
BlackBerry Alert integrates and centralizes data from across an organization, according to BlackBerry. It ensures that an organization's stakeholders can share information with one another to find ways to guard against incidents and respond to active incidents.
In addition, BlackBerry Alert can be used in conjunction with business tools like Microsoft Teams and ServiceNow, the company noted. IT teams can leverage BlackBerry Alert with these tools to notify and assemble a crisis team to troubleshoot and resolve issues directly within third-party applications.
