The Value of BCP Software
Why Build Your Plans with Powerful Software?
Many BCP planners rely on overfilled binders loaded with massive documents to house their business continuity strategies. Plans are built with Microsoft Office applications, printed, and stored on shelves next to file folders and employee handbooks.
Reason #1: Software assists in the plan development process.
BCP software helps you complete the heavy analysis work that consultants normally complete manually. With software you can centrally control your plan development, which is helpful because there are several moving parts of plan development. And you can use your plan immediately when a disaster strikes, instead of searching for your paper plans and distributing them.
Reason #2: Software assists in the long-term goals of your BCP.
With software you can maintain your plans and execute global changes at one time from one place. Static paper documents have minimal capability to perform change quickly; updates must be made and plans distributed before use.
Paper plans DO NOT work during disasters! Why?
- Poor UsabilityDisasters can strike at any time. Distributing BCP plans in chaotic atmospheres only delays the recovery process.
- Outdated InformationCritical business functions and personnel can change, and paper plans can many times be obsolete immediately after they are printed.
- No Real-Time InformationPaper plans offer employees no communication or updates about the status of their organization's recovery process.
Warning! Traditional software models from various vendors only help you build paper documents. See our section on See our section on 9 Questions to ask your BCP software vendor to see why..
