MILWAUKEE, April 11, 2024 – Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, has announced the renewal of its reseller partnership with Everbridge. The collaboration aims to assist security leaders with a centralized view of physical assets and external risk factors—such as geopolitical threats or natural disasters—that could impact organizational safety and resiliency.

“Not only do today’s security leaders face the challenge of staying ahead of new and emerging threats to their physical facilities and cyber infrastructure, but they also need to consider how public safety events or extreme weather may affect their operations,” said Greg Parker, global vice president of Security and Fire Life Cycle Solutions at Johnson Controls. “Through our continued partnership with Everbridge, we’re helping customers navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape and protect their organizations’ assets.”

Data collected by Johnson Controls OpenBlue and Everbridge 360 provides security professionals with information to assess risk and initiate automated security workflow and emergency operating procedures. Additionally, two-way and mass communication functionality help to deliver instructions and keep employees and company assets safe, regardless of their location.

“Our collaboration with Johnson Controls improves the ability of customers to ensure business continuity, life safety, and security across a wider range of scenarios and be better prepared for the unexpected,” said Dominic Jones, SVP Business Development, Partnerships & Alliances, Everbridge. “Our combined technology offers security leaders the ability to not only identify the security risks that they are facing—both internally and externally—but to also help mitigate or manage them effectively, reducing the impact of an event and protecting their operations from interruption, damage, or loss of life.”

In FY24, Johnson Controls expanded its security solution portfolio and partnerships to address the common goals faced by security professionals, including investing in technologies with AI capabilities and the need to move to service models to address staffing shortages. In addition to this renewed partnership with Everbridge, Johnson Controls launched its Security Operations Centers (SOC) service offering to the North American market. Building on 50 years of central monitoring and response services internationally, the SOC offering is available to North American customers seeking to improve business continuity and help reduce risk at a predictable as-a-service fee.
