Iterative Business Process Decomposition (IBPD)
Our alternative to
the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) focuses on business process analysis
and borrows techniques from process modeling disciplines to create a
graphical view of your business process flows. The IBPD distinguishes
between applications and processes and enables continuity of total
business processes instead of partial application recovery.
Our IBPD identifies
mission-critical processes, second and third level interactions,
upstream and downstream dependencies, recovery requisites and solution
architectures better than any form of traditional BIA. By understanding
the true needs of the business and how processes interact,
proportionate, cost-effective recovery solutions can be designed.
The IBPD is the
ideal foundation for all continuity planning efforts, serves as the
justification for continuous operations and recovery planning expenses
and defines the level of capability required in terms business
decision-makers can understand. It also serves as a permanent benchmark
for future application development, system integration, training and
business process improvement initiatives.
