If your organisation suffered a catastrophe,
what would be the implications?

It all depends on whether you have a
Business Continuity Plan (BCP) or at least an

In Case of Emergency ("ICE") Data Management
system in place.

The "Battle Baton", an ICE Data Manager, will minimize disruption when disaster strikes and allow your business to bounce back quickly and effectively,

even if there is already a
Business Continuity Plan in place

The Battle Baton effectively helps develop proven and tested BCPs. It allows organisations to confidently say they have the ‘right’ BCP tools in place to ensure they ‘bounce back quickly’ when disaster strikes!

The Battle Baton manages and maintains crucial logistical data that is required in any ‘Business Continuity Plan’. By using a Battle Baton everyone effected by an incident (management and employees) will know what to do and where to go, who is in control and who reports to whom, even what equipment and software is required to keep the business running with minimal impact at times of crisis.

To achieve this the Battle Baton manages data by harnessing the power of the Internet and our secure dedicated SSL and servers hosting the Battle Baton encrypted data bases. All accessed by any standard internet browser, thus providing dynamic results, even when your servers are down, so that:-

	everyone in the organisation has their own detailed ICE data sheet, accessible online or delivered by email or hard copy
	BCP Teams, Heads of Departments, Sections, IT and HR have data sheets to know exactly who should be where and how to contact them when a contingency plan is invoked or tested
	the BC Team can assign a BCP communicator to any individual in a couple of clicks and quickly make changes and re-run reports to check for validation of the BCP
	BCP Teams and IT can simply pre-plan what equipment, hardware and software, is required and where and when any ‘plan’ within the BCP is invoked. Crucial for pre-planning and proof of a ‘tested BCP’
	the BC Team can broadcast messages to contact ALL members via the Battle Baton 'independent' BC Email Broadcast System to individuals, company or alternative email addresses
	personnel can manage and maintain their own personal data sheet cutting BCP administration time and effort (optional)
	IT, HR or BC Teams can generate listings of equipment, software and specialist capabilities such as Fire Wardens, First Aiders used or available within the organisation, vital information when developing a BCP
	BC Teams can easily view and manage information across ‘multiple-office locations’ offering single point of access and administration via the internet – very powerful and slashes BCP development costs
	full personnel listings can be generated quickly for the emergency services from anywhere with internet access
	user access and administration are simple to control as logins are generated automatically and delivered by email, en masse or by individual selection, in seconds, dramatically cutting administration and set-up time
The application and individual briefing sheets clarify everyone's position within the business continuity plan and what they should do in times of incident impact. Your BC Team will know who is in control, where personnel should be and how to contact them, what equipment is required, and most importantly, the reporting hierarchy in times of crisis. This comprehensive package also produces vital reports for management, ICT, HR departments and even the Emergency Services. This powerful BCP tool will pay for itself in a matter of hours. Plus it is virtually paperless.
