The LBL Contingency Planner system automates the plan development process and
provides an effective method for maintaining the plan. The software is a knowledge based
system that has been developed by certified business continuity planning experts. These
experts have written eight authoritative books on the subject and have prepared over a
thousand business continuity plans. This knowledge base provides users with the best
practices for business continuity planning.

The system contains hundreds of electronic tools, guides, templates, and samples. It is fully
integrated with the Microsoft Office Suite, so it is easy and intuitive to use. Therefore the
software does not require special training. It uses a proven methodology that has been
successful in helping organizations to recover from actual disaster events.

The LBL Contingency Planner has been developed using a building block concept that
correlates to the various phases of business continuity planning. Each phase of the process
should be built on a solid foundation. The unique "Ask the Experts" feature allows users to
submit their business continuity planning questions directly to LBL Technology Partners for
expert advice.

The system automates the entire planning process. Therefore it saves considerable time and
effort. The system maximizes the use of existing information in the organization and avoids
replication of data in the plan. The software also contains guides that explain business
continuity terms, concepts, and methodologies. It can be used in all industries and with all
levels of technology. In addition, it accommodates all recovery strategies.

The software is scalable in that it can accommodate an unlimited number of plans. It is also
extremely flexible and can link to the existing data in the organization. In addition, users can
create their own tools, guides and templates with the software.

This system is most helpful to the small to medium sized organization that does not have a
full
time person performing contingency planning. In addition, the templates and samples are of
great benefit to larger organizations that have not standardized their planning methodology.
