Consulting and Plan Management Services - Tech Valley Continuity, Albany, NY

Even though every company needs a plan to help them get through the next crisis, they don't always know how. Even companies that have a plan may need help in taking it to the next level - or a fresh set of eyes to see where they are vulnerable. The Certified Business Continuity Professionals (CBCP) can guide your planning process from project initiation all the way through to testing.

Plan Review	As your business changes, your business continuity plan must change with you. This may not apply to you, but I've seen businesses add new systems, change key personnel, and take on entire new business lines and not adjust their plans. It simply falls through the cracks, and as a result, that company is now vulnerable. Tech Valley Continuity will review your plans to make sure they are current.
Risk Analysis	When you lie in bed at night thinking about your business, what keeps you staring at the ceiling? Hopefully it's how your are going to spend all of those profits, but you are probably thinking about what can go wrong. We cannot predict the future, but by conducting a Risk Analysis, you will know the risk you face with: Natural Weather and Environmental Threats Human Created Events, both Intentional and Unintentional Technologically caused events
Impact Analysis	So how bad is it going to hurt? Will your employees still have a job? Will your children still be able to go to college? Each negative event has an impact on your operations. Sometimes you barely notice it. Other times it can make you cry. Tech Valley Continuity will help you quantify the impact an event can have on your cash flow, reputation, market share, and operations.
Plan Development	OK, so you know what can go wrong and how much it will cost you. What are you going to do about it? Tech Valley Continuity will work with your technical and management teams to develop the most cost effective solutions to those threats that will hurt the most. We will help you prioritize solutions, develop implementation schedules, and bring your plans to life.
Plan Testing	It can not be stressed enough, "Your Plan is only as good as your Last Test". You don't know if it's going to work unless you've tried to make it work. Think about it. When was the last time you did something for the first time and it worked perfectly? If you play golf (or any sport for that matter), you know how many hours of practice it takes before you start feeling comfortable with your performance. You know that, time and time again, you're going to screw up. But with practice, you screw up less and less. You may never turn pro, but at least you can be comfortable with your performance when you need it. The same is true with your Business Continuity Plan - you need to practice.
