The second phase of the plan is Discovery. Interviews are conducted to determine what functions are performed within workgroups. These interviews help to identify areas and functions that are requirements to maintain business continuity. This provides the mission critical listing of functions and tasks that must be covered by the plan.

The third phase of the plan is Compilation. During the compilation phase the technology team develops the actual recommendations for your organization. Setting your present technology and job functions as the initial baseline and your mission critical and mission necessary requirements as the ultimate goal, our staff develops step-by-step recommendations for your business. Each recommendation is carefully crafted to help your organization maintain its business continuity.

The fourth phase of the plan is Presentation. During the presentation phase the technology team presents the recommendations to your organization’s management. The presentation should be performed in person to facilitate a question and answer session and to clarify the more technically complex details. The presentation includes the step-by-step recommendations to achieve identified goals; block diagrams that depict current and planned strategies and technologies; and implementation plans, costs and anticipated implementation timeframes. Printed and bound booklets of the presentation are prepared for each of your organization’s representative in the meeting.
