RecoveryPAC

RecoveryPAC Highlights

• Have you ever thought about the consequences of your IT department, switchboard, or any other vital process in your organization being out of use for a longer period, for any reason whatsoever? It is of vital importance for every company that the key staff members have access to the communications network and the correct data, as soon as possible after a disaster occurred.
• RecoveryPAC is the software package that assists your business continuity planner(s) in his or her task of realizing a well-founded Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for either selected vital parts of your company or your entire organization.
• RecoveryPAC is used for development, implementation, testing and maintaining your BCP.
• As RecoveryPAC products have been on the market for over 20 years, the product’s methodology has been proven many times over.
• RecoveryPAC is a multifunctional software package, not only a BCP planning tool, but a tool that can be used for all activities which require careful planning and control.
• RecoveryPAC is available in four versions, each developed for a specific group of users, from small businesses to large organizations.
• To assist you in deciding which of our Windows-based versions would best fit the requirements of your organization, we have developed a matrix that indicates what features are included in each version. The objective is that you only purchase what you need.

The Small Business Edition (SBE) of RecoveryPAC is the latest addition to our suite of continuity planning products enabling small organizations to develop their BCP is a matter of days. Just as important as timeliness is that the end result is "auditor proof". A template is included making planning as simple as replacing the generic resource data with your own specific data. The use of a relational database not only makes the development efficient, but also ensures easy on-going maintenance. Keep in mind that the SBE version is upwards compatible with the other RecoveryPAC products, providing a natural migration path by enabling you to purchase features as your needs may increase.
SBE was developed to provide an affordable way for small organizations to develop a comprehensive business continuity plan. Why pay for features that you will not use? Larger organizations may require such functionality as tasks libraries, multiple databases, unlimited number of teams, and multiple manuals…. not smaller organizations. RecoveryPAC Lite version was developed for the medium-sized companies or for divisions of larger organizations that require independent business continuity plans. RecoveryPAC Lite is frequently used by organizations that are part of a chain of businesses and where the central development of a "blue print" business continuity plan is used by all. An example would be a large bank that is using the full version for their headquarters, but uses the Lite version for their remote offices. Consistency is present by using the same methodology, including the same format for the manuals, etc., however it is much more cost effective. RecoveryPAC Full version was designed for organizations to develop and maintain enterprise-wide BCP’s on a single PC or to install it on a server for use over a local or wide-area network. To ensure organization-wide control of your BCP, it contains modules such Test/Activate incident management, advanced call tree facility, and import/export wizard. It also provides a platform for multiple databases for an intelligent breakdown of your plan into manageable parts, instant Gantt chart generation, HTML and PDF electronic publishing for printing and viewing via the Web and much more. RecoveryPAC Web contains the same proven intuitive user interface found in our RecoveryPAC Full version. You can access RecoveryPAC Web and planning data from any PC with an internet browser – at the office, from home, or while on the road. The integrated automated email alert notification system allows business continuity administrators to instantly send email alerts and reminders to the entire recovery organization. Or to select group of recovery team members … with just a simple click of a mouse. Providing true cross-platform support, RecoveryPAC Web runs on both Windows and Unix servers and supports RecoveryPAC Web planner client’s using Internet Explorer and Netscape, as well as Apple Macintosh with OS X and Safari.

As an added feature, our RiskPAC risk analysis product’s Business Impact Analysis (BIA) questionnaire module results can be imported into our RecoveryPAC products … now your requirements will be at your fingertips!
