An International Teleconference on the Topic of Business Continuity/ Disaster Recovery Planning was conducted yesterday

Norwalk, CT, December 15, 2005 --(PR.com)-- An International Teleconference on the Topic of Business Continuity/ Disaster Recovery Planning was conducted yesterday under the sponsorship of The Advisory Council (TAC). The teleconference was presented by TAC Expert Ron Bleiberg, and provided a comprehensive perspective on business continuity planning. In introducing the presenter, Peter S. Schay, TAC Executive VP and Chief Operating Officer said, “This year’s headlines have left us sensitive to natural disaster. Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods seem to be “every-other-week” events. At some point, we may have wondered what our own companies would look like the day after Katrina. This teleconference will address challenges ranging from nuclear destruction of a headquarters city to work stoppages.”

The hot issues addressed included:
-What is the most frequently overlooked, yet most crucial, part of a Business Continuity plan?
-What are the key components of an Operational Continuity Plan?
-How do you reduce “we need to keep running” to an actionable availability statement?
-How do you recognize the people who will be needed to run your operations post-disaster…and address their survival and availability?
-How do you configure systems to run 24x365 year after year, and what does that cost?
-Who should run the recovery effort?
