Product Description

Product Description
The interest in Business Continuity has gained significant momentum in the last few years, especially with the Y2K non–event, the increasing corporate dependence on computer systems and the growing levels of devastation associated with recent disasters. This book takes an organization interested in continuity planning through the processes needed to develop an effective plan.

"Jim Barnes has succeeded in providing us a much–needed tool, with which we can condidently face many of the day–to–day challenges of business contingency planning ... With this book, he has taken an important step in removing much of the guesswork and frustration from the business continuity implementation project." From the Foreword by Philip Jan Rothstein, FBCI, President of Rothstein Associates Inc., Publisher of The Rothstein Catalog on Disaster Recovery, 2001

From the Inside Flap
The need for business continuity planning has been highlighted recently by the continuing rapid increase in the dependency of business on technology and the series of headline–grabbing, thought–provoking disasters witnessed in recent years, caused by and including power failures, fuel shortages, storms and floods.

As these disasters occupy prominent coverage by the news media, the senior management of virtually every company and governmental entity needs to consider and plan for the prospect of a disaster interrupting their operations.
Yet the cause of the disaster condition is more often a localized occurrence which can have a deceptively great impact on a company or organization. It is these more common occurrences which happen to an individual company rather than an entire area, that activate companies to plan beyond the point of "what if" to a more proactive "how can we prepare for this type of thing happening again" approach.

This practical and highly topical book:
∗ provides the "how–to" of planning and implementing recovery policies in case of disaster or emergency
∗ is an invaluable "toolkit" for CEOs, and managers who find themselves in the role of internal consultant on corporate business continuity planning
∗ offers the same kind of guidance as an external specialist
∗ will also be a valuable source of reference for business consultants in the field

4.0 out of 5 stars A valuable info toolset for the Business Continuity Manager!, 30 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This topical book addresses the subject of Business Continuity Planning. Following the terrorist events in New York in September 2001, the threat of disaster is prominent in the business community across the world. The senior management teams of many businesses will now be asking if and how they are prepared for disaster scenarios.

This book provides a valuable toolset for CIO's & Project Managers who are responsible for business continuity and disaster recovery. It is also useful for those Managers, currently responsible for Business Continuity, in any audit review.

Content does not necessarily address specific technical issues associated with Disaster Recovery (e.g. network design, hardware approach) and is therefore not targeted at Data Centre Managers. For this I suggest the reader refer to Disaster Recovery Planning by Jon Toigo.

The author does however provide a methodical approach to five defined phases of Business Continuity Planning. It includes a walk through approach to each phase, which together could compromise project delivery from conception to testing/maintenance of plans.

The concise book includes useful checklists and example templates for use in project delivery. Even if the templates are not used, they will provide the reader a sound foundation of knowledge to implement within their business.

An excellent purchase for those not only new to this topic, but those who have current responsibility.
