Noggin named a Strong Performer in leading analyst report for Critical Event Management Platforms

SYDNEY, Australia - Noggin, a global industry leader in integrated resilience management technology, today announced that it was recognized by influential research and advisory firm, Forrester in "The Forrester Wave™: Critical Event Management Platforms, Q4 2023." An assessment of the top vendors in the market, the report evaluates the ten most significant critical event management (CEM) platforms along 23 criteria to help security and risk professionals select the right solution for their needs.

As the report notes, "Organizations face a steady stream of physical risks from crime, severe weather, environmental catastrophes, geopolitical upheaval, and everyday accidents. These events not only disrupt business operations but potentially endanger the environment, jeopardize employee and customer safety, and threaten to interrupt critical public services…CEM platforms help organizations minimize the impact before, during, and after a crisis."

To Noggin, the Forrester report gave the highest possible marks in the vision and innovation criteria. Noggin also received the highest possible scores in the physical event management and response, API integration, orchestration and automation, and platform and software security criteria.

The report states that Noggin "takes an innovative approach to providing value to customers with a comprehensive database of preconfigured templates and workflows tailored to industry verticals." The Forrester report also notes the Noggin platform's "flexible CEM capabilities."

"We are proud of our recognition in The Forrester Wave, especially the acknowledgement of our "superior vision" and for receiving the highest possible score in the innovation criterion," said James Boddam-Whetham, CEO at Noggin. "We believe the report is truly a testament to how much we have achieved as a bootstrapped organization competing against some of the best-funded players in the market. With a laser focus on the user and on the product, we overcame funding disparities to roll out the Noggin integrated resilience workspace as a next-gen, 10-in-one platform that gives organizations the end-to-end CEM functionality needed to address a deteriorating risk environment in the years ahead."

The report further cites that "Noggin's superior vision is to enhance data visualization and risk insights with the goal of providing more self-service analytics capabilities." It also states the fact that "Noggin provides a massive library of templates and prebuilt workflows including specific packs containing aspects unique to given industries," while noting that "Reference customers rely on the platform's flexibility and easy-to-use flow chart wizard driving the powerful workflow engine to implement and automate custom processes."

"In rolling out Noggin Resilience, our vision was to make it easy for organizations to become truly resilient to all types of adverse events and disruptions, providing the only truly integrated resilience workspace with market-leading user experience and flexibility," said Charlie Forsyth, Noggin Chief Product Officer. "That is why we are pleased to be recognized in this Forrester evaluation for our 'many features to manage business continuity and incident response tasks and resources.' We also look forward to continuing to invest in next-generation features to address emerging customer needs and market trends - all the while punching far above our weight to remain the pacesetter in the market."
