GO.RECOVER-EUC SOFTWARE
by Persson Associates

GO.RECOVER-EUC is a simple, easy-to-use framework for quick plan development for end
user environments.

PRODUCT FOCUS

This disaster recovery plan development product is designed for "End User" environments that
utilize automated computer systems and communications in support of critical operational
functions, but may not fall within the scope of larger, more complex "corporate" disaster
recovery plans.

PRODUCT TARGET

This product is targeted at small- to medium-sized End User departments either within larger
facility complexes or as stand-alone environments such as:
- Corporate departments that have developed their own critical applications
- End User departments that manage some of their own computer equipment
- Remote locations such as sales offices, warehouses, branch banks, credit unions, etc.
- Manufacturing plant offices that are often distributed within the mill operation.

GO.RECOVER-EUC is designed to be done by each group by themselves with appropriate
assistance from more technical personnel where needed. The product contains simple
self-help instructions at each of the 10 required steps.
