Emergency Exposure Management
Summarize
Summary of Emergency Exposure Management
The ServiceNow® Emergency Exposure Management application helps organizations identify users potentially exposed to infectious diseases by analyzing various data sources such as meetings, locations, shifts, Wi-Fi logs, and badge scans of affected users. It supports multiple tracing systems—including Microsoft Office 365 meetings, workspace reservations, employee logs, visitor logs, and proximity sensing data—to generate a list of potentially exposed individuals.
