LBL ContingencyPro Software

LBL CONTINGENCYPRO SOFTWARE
by LBL Technology Partners

LBL CONTINGENCYPRO is a new, web-based browser software tool that automates the
entire business continuity 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 hundreds of business continuity plans.

This knowledge base provides users with the best practices for business continuity planning.
The systems contain hundreds of electronic tools, guides, templates, and samples. They are
fully integrated with the Microsoft Office Suite, so the systems are easy and intuitive to use.
The Planning Software is based on a proven methodology that has been successful in
helping organizations to recover from actual disaster events.

The ContingencyPro software publishes the completed plan to the Internet so that the Plan
can be easily accessed from any PC that has Internet connectivity. This can be especially
important during and after a disaster event. The software also has access security and
controls.

The ContingencyPro 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 ContingencyPro 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.

The ContingencyPro software is a multi-user system with access security and controls. The
Security Administrator has the capability to assign IDs, passwords, and access rights to
individual users. The software also has a feature to force periodic password changes.
