This software was created for businesses to create, improve, or update their business continuity plans. The suite is scalable for optimal use by organizations of any size and consists of a business continuity plan (BCP) training, automated BCP and disaster recovery plan generators, and a self-directed exercise for testing an implemented BCP. Businesses can utilize this solution to maintain normal operations and foster resilience during a disruption.
These resources were developed to help hospitals prepare for and manage disruptions while maintaining critical operations.
