Accelerate business continuity planning by converting manual BC processes into intelligent, automated workflows. Plan4Continuity combines the 5 most important elements of continuity planning – people, assets, services, locations and vendors/suppliers to, among others, streamline management and boost accountability and facilitates effortless reporting.

The reality is that there is no real advance notice that a disaster is ready to strike. Even with some lead time, things can go wrong as every incident is unique and unfolds in unexpected ways. That is why a BCP is crucial to ensure your business continues operating during an unplanned event.

Plan4Continuity automates the whole process of creating, activating, reporting and simulating BCPs into a single cloud-based application.

Plan4Continuity (P4C) is the channel’s first cloud-based business continuity plan (BCP) software-as-a-service (SaaS) that streamlines business process automation and creates an opportunity for multi-recurring revenue streams for IT service providers servicing SMBs and SMEs. P4C is a dynamic, intelligent cloud-based business continuity planning solution that can create, simulate and activate business continuity processes with the push of a button.

P4C allows IT service providers to automate the complete process of creating, activating, reporting, and simulating BCPs. P4C provides preconfigured BC plans and templates as an initial step, but once you have established the plan, you can add to or copy the plan in the event that you have, for example, multiple locations.

Business continuity planning by location

Your business may have different entities (or "locations" as we refer to it) such as branches, regions, buildings, floors, departments, even home offices and temporary remote sites. Business continuity can be managed more effectively if you divide your business into locations.

People are a business’s most valuable assets

They are the ones who control and use assets, deal with vendors, perform services, make decisions, pay wages and liaise with clients. People, from plan managers to action owners, need to be involved in your continuity planning. 

Without services, no business can function

Every company depends on external and internal services. Without electricity, internet connectivity, IT support, and telephony a company would be unable to function. When these services are disrupted, the Disruptive Event Management need to provide alternative scenarios. 

A business needs assets to provide services

An important part of business continuity is identifying the assets that are essential to business operations and to include these assets in business continuity plans. These can include basic service plans or schedules for when the services rendered by these assets become disrupted. 

Vendors need to be active participants

Vendors and suppliers of services play a critical role in the ongoing function of a business and therefore need to be active participants in your business continuity planning. They form an essential link in the supply and disaster recovery chain.
