Business Continuity Planning: A Step-by-Step Guide with Planning Forms on CD-ROM, Third Edition
ReviewsKenneth Fulmer, CBCP, has produced an important and useful guide for the business continuity planning novice…and upholds many of the principles you will find promoted and supported by the Business Continuity Instituteand encouraged as part of Business Continuity Management good practices....In more than thirty years as a business continuity practitioner, I have seen many small and medium-size businesses pay the penalty for lack of preparedness. Often, overwhelmed by the jargon employed by many practitioners and the mistaken concepts that business continuity is too costly, that it is only for the big boys, and that they do not have the resources or knowledge base, they choose to take the risk instead. For many, it is an unfortunate choice because much can be done with reasonable commitment to avoid business disruptions or mitigate the impact for those that are unavoidable….In this excellent primer, Mr. Fulmer sets out a simple, concise, and, most of all, logical roadmap both for developing the justification for a business continuity/disaster recovery program as well as for developing and maintaining the resultant plan.--Larry Kalmis, FBCI, Project Executive, Virtual CorporationChairman, The Business Continuity InstituteThis book demonstrates the changing focus of business continuity, moving it outside of IT and into the boardroom.Decisions surrounding business continuity are no longer involving only the technical provisioning but are business driven to help ensure companies are always on and thus competitive. The book supports the processes and guidelines set forth in DRI International's (DRII) approach to ensure a successful implementation of a business continuity program and is a good starting point for someone new to the industry.--Belinda Wilson, CBCP, Vice Chairperson, Disaster Recovery Institute International--Reviews 1
