CONTINGENCY PLANNING

Business owners and managers must accept a well known fact:  There is no such thing as a risk free operation!  Things happen!  Information and data disappear!  Equipment fail!  Employees and contractors become disgruntled!  A viable contingency plan will assure prompt resumption of business in the event of a mishap, sabotage, or disaster. 

System and application owners must be held accountable for safeguarding assets for which they are responsible.

Our contingency management tools address basic issues such as asset identification, location, value, alternatives, replacement, and intangible costs; and most importantly, how long the organization can function without the asset!  Since no asset is impervious to loss, the prudent leader will ensure that mechanisms are in place for a secure & rapid recovery.  Our intent is to help managers break the cycle from normality to panic with crisis management.
