It's like a gift from the heavens! BCP 2.0 is a model that will change many things, but what's more important then life? RecoveryPlanner.com has the privilege of serving one of the most prestigious technical universities in the country as our latest client (to remain anonymous until the press release). While it's great to have a big name select you, it's even better to have them select you for the right reasons.
"Real-time integration can save lives." That basically sums up the reason for BCP 2.0. In a university setting we have thousands of kids with email addresses, cell phone numbers, IM handles and addresses. This is no different from any other population, the difference with the 18-21 year old set is that these may change every 3 days!
Through real-time integration of their HR and student management systems the school was able to keep the BCP environment in RecoveryPlanner.com's RPX up to date within a 1 minute window. That is amazing! One could easily imagine a system having 10%-20% wrong information and those errors leading to some very bad outcomes.
This is the kind of stuff that gets me out of bed in the morning! It is just stupidly exciting when you see an application that is so fundamentally improved that lives are potentially saved. Very, very cool!
Happy Monday,

BCP 2.0
BCP 2.0
BCP 1.0 was a document based model, much as Web 1.0 was page based. BCP 2.0 leverages the technology, and cultural platform of Web 2.0 to move business continuity planning, or disaster recovery planning into the future.
Through what noted author Tim O’Reilly calls an “architecture of participation” in Web 2.0 where the more people use the system the better it becomes. The 2.0 dynamics are as much about culture, as they are about technology.
With our recent release of RPX we are launching into the BCP 2.0 world. In BCP 2.0 we see the central idea of a “document” fall to the power of the network platform. The core elements of BCP 2.0 are it’s realtime vs. periodic, enterprise wide vs. BCP/DR centered and community powered vs. consulting powered.
RPX powers these BCP 2.0 initiatives by,
Realtime interaction through a completely exposed API. This allows organizations to integrate all of their existing information in to their response plans without the burden of periodic updating.
Enterprise wide adoption through our ESP, or enterprise size pricing, program. By eliminating the “user tax” RPX empowers the entire enterprise to engage the continuity process with no burdensome user login limits. This is a critical element to bringing the BCP 2.0 culture to an organization.
Community of continuity through the use of Open Source templates. All planning template are available within our application to be shared, changed and improved over time. We believe that this information is to important to be held captive by professional consultants and should be in the public domain.
As can be seen RPX takes the critical Web 2.0 step of “make(ing) the most of the intrinsic advantages of the platform” The BCP 2.0 model stand to make the world a safer place through better information, empowered action and community insight.
