Intrado integrates Emergency Routing with Webex Calling Multi-Tenant. Intrado has expanded its cloud communications portfolio with the integration of its Emergency Routing Service (ERS) with Webex Calling Multi-Tenant, giving enterprises a new option for meeting E911 compliance requirements while improving emergency response capabilities in modern work environments. Available through the Cisco SolutionsPlus Program, the integration is designed to help organizations comply with federal regulations, including Kari's Law and RAY BAUM's Act, as they migrate from legacy PBX systems to cloud-based calling platforms. The solution enables accurate routing of 911 calls to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) while providing dispatchable location information for employees working across offices, campuses, homes, or other remote locations. Intrado said the service is built to support hybrid and distributed workforces, where employees increasingly place emergency calls from multiple devices and locations. According to Intrado, the integration provides enterprise-grade emergency routing, dynamic location management, and compliance capabilities while allowing Cisco to manage the cloud calling platform and Intrado to oversee emergency call routing and related services. "Organizations today need emergency communications solutions that are built for the realities of modern work," said Dave Bukovinsky, vice president of product management at Intrado. "By integrating Intrado ERS with Webex Calling Multi-Tenant, we're helping enterprises strengthen employee safety, simplify compliance with evolving E911 regulations, and improve the speed and accuracy of emergency response." The announcement further expands Intrado's support for unified communications as enterprises continue transitioning to cloud-based collaboration and calling platforms while navigating increasingly complex regulatory requirements.
