Software Solutions
We
have completed over 40 BCP and IT Continuity, Disaster Recovery projects.
Many of our clients have been frustrated by the BCP plan development and
management software tools available. So we have done our research,
tested most of the products available and picked the one we feel does
the best job for the highest value.
We started using Phoenix in 2002 and have seen it serve hundreds of clients successfully. In 2007 the company was taken over by Kingsbridge who have continuously improved the package and added many powerful plugins which provide huge value.
The Best of People
CBCP Certification
On the job, common sense based knowledge is our foundation, but we do not want to rely totally on years of experience - we require structure and predictability for our work. Hence our staff have an maintain certified status from industry recognized Business Continuity Professional organizations.

PMP Certification and Project Management
All Business Continuity work starts as a project. So it makes sense to manage a BCP or IT DR project with sound project management principles. We ensure that all projects have the involvements of a certified project manager to ensure high levels of success, on time, within budget. Active Continuous Education
We believe in the concept of continuous improvement. Our staff are encouraged and required to continuously refresh their knowledge, credentials and experience. They read, study, take courses and remain open minded to ensure we provide you with the best of service and ideas to ensure successful BCP and IT Disaster Recovery projects.

Practical Knowledge and Common Sense
One of the most uncommon traits in today's world is common sense. We pride ourselves on applying a common sense approach to all of our BCP and IT Disaster Recovery projects. Our goal is to tailor the work to meet your requirements, not some abstract theory of what is required!.
