LBL CONTINGENCYPRO SOFTWARE
by LBL Technology Partners LBL CONTINGENCYPRO is a new, web-based browser software tool that automates the entire business continuity plan development process and provides an effective method for maintaining the plan. The software is a knowledge-based system that has been developed by certified business continuity planning experts. These experts have written eight authoritative books on the subject and have prepared hundreds of business continuity plans. This knowledge base provides users with the best practices for business continuity planning. The systems contain hundreds of electronic tools, guides, templates, and samples. They are fully integrated with the Microsoft Office Suite, so the systems are easy and intuitive to use. The Planning Software is based on a proven methodology that has been successful in helping organizations to recover from actual disaster events. The ContingencyPro software publishes the completed plan to the Internet so that the Plan can be easily accessed from any PC that has Internet connectivity. This can be especially important during and after a disaster event. The software also has access security and controls. The ContingencyPro system automates the entire planning process. Therefore, it saves considerable time and effort. The system maximizes the use of existing information in the organization and avoids replication of data in the plan. The software also contains guides that explain business continuity terms, concepts, and methodologies. It can be used in all industries and with all levels of technology. In addition, it accommodates all recovery strategies. The ContingencyPro software is scalable in that it can accommodate an unlimited number of plans.
