Bcm Framework Cd Rom For Business Continuity Management

by Andrew Hiles

"The Low Cost High Value Business Continuity Management Tool."

BCM FRAMEWORK(tm) represents a new approach in business continuity management software tools. The problem with a lot of software is that it is expensive; it requires training in use of the software; it may require consultancy in its use; it does not necessarily match your culture, requirements, or documentation standards; and, it still requires a lot of work to complete the detail, without which any disaster recovery plan is worthless.

BCM FRAMEWORK(tm) is different. It is comprised of a number of easily tailored modules that are selected from our database of client work from a combined total of over one hundred years of consultancy experience - modules that are hand picked as the most relevant to your own situation, culture, organization, equipment platform and infrastructure. It contains Model Business Recovery Action Plans for key corporate functions with Organization Schematics and role descriptions, with some vital - and often forgotten - actions included. The Appendices cover, among other items:

Contact List formats

Control Room set-up

Disaster Evaluation and Invocation Procedure

Recovery Time Estimating

Incident and Damage Reporting formats

Activity Logs and Action Logging formats

Vital Materials Lists

Agenda for Team Leaders' Meeting

Plan Maintenance: Document Configuration Control structure

Outline Restoration Procedures

Plan Testing Strategy

The appropriate Outline Restoration Procedures will be selected from the best match with your platforms.

There are optional additional modules covering Risk Assessment and Business Impact Analysis if required.

Kingswell's methodologies are being used by discriminating blue chip organizations including DHL and Philips Electronics. You can be confident of their effectiveness and value.

BCM FRAMEWORK offers a structured approach to achieve a disaster recovery plan for you in the simplest, easiest way. The plan can be developed in a style and to documentation standards compatible with your organization's culture and standards. It is important that line management take ownership of their aspects of the plan, so for your ease of use and maintenance, BCM FRAMEWORK is developed in standard MS Word format.
