Paragon Launches Business Recovery and Continuity Planning Service

Paragon Software Group announced the launch of its Business Recovery and Continuity (BRC) Planning service.

The October 29th storm that hit the east coast gave organizations the opportunity to test their BC and DR plans. Now is a good time to evaluate the effectiveness and make improvements where needed.
 
Since 1994, Paragon has DR software. The addition of the BRC Planning service extends Paragon’s ability to help businesses prepare for disaster and minimize downtime. Furthermore, regulatory bodies such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA require accurate recovery estimates and well-designed plans for businesses to meet compliance requirements.
 
"We have been providing the technology and processes enabling effective BC for years; formalizing the portfolio into a comprehensive service offering is a natural extension for Paragon," said Daniel Eickhoff, director of channel sales at Paragon. "The recent mega-storm, Sandy, demonstrated that the need in the community is great; many companies see that now is a good time to  audit their plans and make necessary adjustments to ensure they are a survivor and not a victim of the next disaster."
 
Paragon’s specialists will design a BC/DR plan for staff to follow during a disaster.
 
Service Highlights:

• Onsite departmental interviews
• High-level risk assessment
• Full review of the current plan
• Gap analysis
• New-plan development
• Onsite table-top exercise
• Employee training

To help companies improve their disaster preparedness, Paragon is extending a free one-hour phone consultation with one DR planning consultants along with a checklist for a self-assessment of the company’s current BC/DR plan. The offer runs through the end of 2012.
