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.

Welcome to BCP 2.0.
