Tools used to plan with are no longer expensive!
CHICAGO, Feb. 16, 2009 — Persson Associates, in the business of helping companies develop disaster recovery plans since 1985, has just improved their web site to not only offer simple, easy-to-use planning tools but at a cost everyone can afford. The principal of the consulting practice, Jan Persson — CDP, CBCP, has long been an advocate that all businesses, no matter how large or small, should implement the basic steps and procedures to help recover from a disaster situation. The challenge is how to make that happen. Unfortunately, the issue of cost often deters companies from moving ahead. Now, there is no reason for that being the case.
The products, or plan development “tools” (aka Methodologies), offered by Persson Associates (http://www.perssonassociates.com) cover the main areas to address: Data Centers and Business Units (aka Departments). The tools are designed using an easy-to-follow set of “templates” along with specific instructions, chapter by chapter. This allows more of a DIY (Do It Yourself) approach to plan development, which holds down the costs. They cover the myriad of requirements from simple contact lists, equipment requirements, emergency steps, to suggested recovery action task lists. Everything needed to start the plan development is included. This software (written in MS Word by Microsoft) was chosen since it is the standard in the industry, so most companies do not require any special training to use it. That also holds down costs, which is a central theme at Persson Associates.
The products are low cost yet comprehensive. They are the result of 25 years of plan development process fine-tuning and simplification based on actual client work at Persson Associates with over 300 companies. The satisfaction rate on using the products is very high. In fact, recent customer comments focus on the ease of use and thoroughness. Another major benefit of using the products from Persson Associates is that it is extremely quick to get started. A visit to the web site allows the customer to purchase the specific product they need, pay online, and download the product and instructions. For any questions, full contact information is available on the web site. Now all companies can afford to start disaster recovery planning.
