Original Press Release:
RecoveryPlanner.com Version RPX Introduces the World to BCP2.0
New software eliminates 70% of the work associated with disaster recovery planning.
SHELTON, Conn., Oct. 16, 2007 - After pre-release showings at Disaster Recovery Journal's fall show last month, John Grant, VP of Enterprise Sales for RecoveryPlanner.com, welcomed everyone to the unveiling of BCP2.0 with RecoveryPlanners.com's new RPX at the companies headquarters.
"In the past 5 years we've worked with thousands of users to understand the challenges of effective Disaster Recovery or Business Continuity Planning within their organizations," says Mr. Grant. "The problem most organizations face is keeping their information current. With the introduction of BCP2.0, RPX eliminates this problem by using Web 2.0 technologies to integrate into the business platforms used today. This approach eliminates up to 70% of the work that most organizations associate with keeping their plans current."
RPX moves away from the document-focused models of the past that left the BCP process as a secondary and burdensome chore. "With our proprietary BCP2.0 model we have created a platform that organizations can integrate with their current infrastructures and processes," says Chett Rubenstein, CTO of RecoveryPlanner.com. "Only by 'ditching the doc' were we free to look at the problem in a completely new way. By replacing the idea of a periodically updated document with a functional, real-time application we have been able to truly change the game. In making this philosophical change we see clients eliminating significant work that really wasn't improving their ability to recover or even manage the process. With RPX they can have a far more functional solution," adds Mr. Rubenstein.
"While the work reduction to support planning is a huge win, the bigger victory is that it will actually be functional," said Bill Lanzoni, Certified Continuity Manager and executive with RecoveryPlanner.com client CAPS Business Recovery. "As a former CIO I look at the practical side of this. Think of stale phone numbers at the point of a disaster and realize that someone could die because you were calling the wrong number. The benefits of RecoveryPlanner.com's BCP2.0 strategy are going to change the industry and save lives."
RPX BCP2.0 supports integrations such as:
- Corporate Directories - many corporations use Microsoft Active Directory, Novell eDirectory or OpenLDAP. These directories can be synchronized into RPX allowing users to keep their own information current.
- HR Management Systems - systems such as PeopleSoft, Oracle HR or Orange HRMS can be integrated with RPX to empower existing HR strategies to keep DR/BCP information current including contact information, position, manager or other critical information.
- Asset Management Systems - can be integrated into RPX to allow all critical assets to be populated in the application to facilitate adding them to their respective recovery strategies.
