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. |
