Companies Integrate Proprietary Technologies to Help Organizations Recover Quicker from Downtime, Form Industry’s Only Business Continuity Planning, Incident Management, and Emergency Notification Combined Solution.

Strategic BCP and Twenty First Century Communications (TFCC), provider of emergency notification solutions, today announced a strategic alliance to help businesses and organizations worldwide recover quicker after any crisis-related downtime.

Downtime can cost organizations millions of dollars per hour, imperil human life, and result in crippling loss of customers.  Strategic BCP’s proprietary Business Continuity Planning (BCP) software, ResilienceONE®, facilitates fast decision-making to reduce downtime by making real-time response and recovery information available.

TFCC’s CRISCOM notification solution will integrate within ResilienceONE® to provide an enhanced inbound and outbound flow of critical information to ResilienceONE® to users. This unprecedented combination of technology will accelerate the real-time status distribution of facilities, information technology, employees, and business operations, and help personnel make more informed, time-sensitive decisions that will ensure safety and mitigate business loss.

“Crises creating downtime, from power outages to natural disasters, threaten lives, and cost organizations millions of dollars. Quick and resolute decision-making is of the essence. Most BCP tools actually cripple the recovery process, relying on long paper-based plans to help them act,” says Frank Perlmutter, founder and CEO of Strategic BCP. “Combining the risk analytics, streamlined planning methodology, and real-time incident management of ResilienceONE® with CRISCOM creates an enhanced method of protecting lives and resources, communicating with employees and customers, and restoring business operations faster than any solution available.”

“For 20 years TFCC has been a leader in emergency notification, and our partnership with Strategic BCP will allow us to help even more enterprises recover from crises,” says Bently Collier, vice president of sales and marketing for TFCC. “Our state-of-the-art notification system brings stability to chaotic organizations responding to disasters by sending notifications detailing recovery progress via landlines, cell phones, PDAs, email, pagers, fax, and TTY/TDD services. We are excited to combine our technologies and offer an unmatched solution in business continuity.”

ResilienceONE® and CRISCOM are available with unlimited user licenses to facilitate scalability. Pricing for the combined solution is customized for various-sized organizations, from small non-profit organizations to international conglomerates.

Strategic BCP was named a 2009 “Cool Vendor” by Gartner, Inc. in its “Cool Vendors in Risk Management and Compliance, 2009″ (Roberta J. Witty, et al, March 19, 2009) report.
