Collaboration

OpsPlanner™ takes the survival of critical assets out of the hands of a few and places it collaboratively with all the stakeholders. Individually or in groups, you can easily share information and make decisions before, during, and after an emergency. This facilitates efficient and integrated business continuity program management - surpassing those of traditional word document and call tree processes.

BIA Expert

OpsPlanner’s BIA Expert is an optional feature that allows an organization to integrate BIA workflow and data into the OpsPlanner Business Continuity Process without the need to import data, login to a separate system, or manually calculate recovery objectives.

Key Features	Benefits
BIA Methodology Tasks	An updated set of BIA methodology tasks for performing the Impact Analysis process, which due to the enhanced data gathering surveys and reports, significantly reduces the overall effort as compared to the manual BIA Process and other BIA tools.
BIA Surveys	Provides the ability to define threshold parameters for multiple and/or distinct lines of business, and Impact Categories. Once the threshold parameters are defined, a dynamic BIA survey is generated which can be sent to any number of internal or external stakeholders for participation in the BIA process. As well, the BIA Survey Administrator can modify some existing questions and add an unlimited number of user-definable questions to the end of a survey.
BIA Reports	Contains a complete set of BIA reports that include Impacts Over Time, BIA Survey Detail, BIA Resources, BIA Survey Summary and a BIA Comparison Report. The BIA Comparison Report enables the organization to identify gaps between surveyed resource requirements and inventory of resources on hand. The BIA Survey Summary provides calculated recovery time objectives and overall recovery ranking based on organizational scores for tangible and intangible impact data.
BIA Dependency Diagrams	Creates dependency maps at the organizational unit level and integrated dependency maps across all consolidated organizations for: inflows, outflows and resource relationships.
