What Is Business Continuity Planning?

Business continuity planning (BCP) empowers organizations to become better equipped to face disruption attributed to natural disasters, geopolitical issues, IT outages and security breaches. It ensures greater resiliency and minimizes the impact of disruption during times of crisis.

The key steps for planning your emergency and disaster communication plan, a critical element for BCP, are listed below:

    • Assign a coordinator in every department to facilitate business continuity
    • Establish effective protocols and rules for every critical business process
    • Assign escalation policy to ensure no alert is missed
    • Identify business-critical activities and prioritize their remediation
    • Mass notify employees, customers, vendors and all stakeholders involved

Critical Incident Alerting for Response Teams

business continuity

Organizations need to adopt the right set of tools and procedures to reduce the impact of business disruption.

During times of crisis, IT teams get inundated with alerts from various sources including, phone and email. Alerts that don’t provide any context into event severity can further deteriorate business processes. At its core, alert noise equates to missed notifications and prolonged resolution times.

OnPage provides distinguishable high-priority alerts. Teams will always know the severity of alerts in order to better prioritize their response plan. OnPage also provides on-call rotations and escalations. Web console administrators can select or task IT engineers while creating “turns” if the first person is unavailable.

Notify a Designated Responder With Live Call Routing

Live call routing effectiveness is attributed to its automation. “Turns” or on-call assignments are created with OnPage’s automated scheduler, ensuring that the right responder receives the urgent call.

The process begins when a user calls a dedicated OnPage number, in an effort to connect to a designated responder. Based on the automated schedule, the on-call, designated responder receives the call on his cellphone. If answered, the responder connects on a live call with the caller, ensuring that his or her problems are resolved promptly.

If not answered, the call is then escalated to the on-call group consisting of pre-defined, designated responders. In the unlikely case that all on-call members don’t answer, the caller is then prompted to leave a callback number and/or voicemail. This way, all members become aware of the caller’s urgent issues.
