Disaster in Japan: A Lesson in Business Continuity Management

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 29, 2011

In the wake of the current crisis, it is more apparent that the ability to efficiently coordinate the resources of business continuity, incident response, disaster recovery, and crisis management determines when - and if – operations will resume. easy2comply’s upgraded Business Continuity Management software provides real-time Recovery Management features based on BS 25999.

As earthquake, tsunami and other disasters of nature threaten and disrupt business worldwide, it’s only natural that many Risk Managers around the world are reexamining their disaster recovery and business continuity management plans. Positive lessons can be learned from Japanese businesses, organizations and communities with solid plans in place that prevented further loss of life and damage.

Business continuity events will continue to occur and threaten businesses around the globe. Being prepared and knowing how to respond makes the difference between corporate survival and corporate failure. The planning and preparatory work, as well as the associated costs, can seem overwhelming when using conventional tools.

   •      Sophisticated flowcharts for documentation of business processes, IT Assets and resources
   •     Customizable resources enabling BCM managers to define any type of resource down to the attribute level
   •     Interactive and graphical resource mapping to define the relationships between resources and processes
