The Planning Portal seeks to resolve these common issues and increase the effectiveness of all business continuity activities.

Workflow Automation

As a leading Business Continuity Consulting  firm, Avalution found that organizations needed not only a way to store, organize and develop plans but that there was a great opportunity for organizations to focus on business continuity program development and adding value to their organization if they could manage the planning and analysis that had already been established.  The Planning Portal utilizes the latest Microsoft SharePoint technology to run an advanced workflow that will solve this conflict, automatically disseminating tasks to plan owners requesting updates and additional data.  The result is an automated and streamlined process where end-users merely have to fill in the blanks.  

Customized Reporting

In addition to process efficiencies, business continuity program managers can easily assess the current status of their business continuity program by running one of several preformatted or customizable reports.  Reports can provide a range of perspectives of the preparedness of an organization which provide a basis for program development.

Accessibility

Accessible information, training, and planning are essential for an organization to be prepared to respond to an incident. ThePlanningPortal provide different levels of access so that all employees can access The Planning Portal to better prepare the entire organization for its responsibilities during a crisis event.   Similarly, plan users and owners can access plans, receive updates, or update business continuity data from any browser window. 

Audit Capability

The Planning Portal provides the necessary process mapping, document standardization, and data centralization necessary to pass a variety of audits.  Avalution has built The Planning Portal to comply with global business continuity certifications, the latest being BS 25999.
