Business Continuity Tools Print
Helping your customer's with their Disaster Planning is a great service you can offer. So many businesses find this topic difficult to understand, it's a great opportunity for those who can simplify the process. If you've considered adding this service as a source of revenue, this is the area to start.

 


      Business Continuity Planning Methodology
If you need a complete introduction to the topic of Business Continuity Planning, you won't find a better place to start than with Akhtar Sayed's excellent text.

Not only is this considered the Bible on Business Continuity, but it includes a full training kit.  For someone serious about BCP, this is the first (and only) book to buy !

 
  Business Continuity Planning:
A Step-by-Step Guide with Planning Forms
on CD-ROM

I have to admit -- I like pre-built forms.  I find it's easier to learn a new subject when I can look over real world examples. Too many times after reading material on a complex subject, I'm left with a blank piece of paper, and uncertainly where to start.

If you're like me, and you learn from seeing real world examples, you're going to love this book.

     
  A Primer for Disaster Recovery in an
IT Environment

This book focuses on IT Planning for Disaster Recovery.  Since I assume you're already in the IT industry (otherwise why would you be on this site?), I felt this would be an important BCP specialty you'd need to know about.

What I particularly liked about this book was it's focus on providing reasons for Disaster Planning.  This is real handy when you're in a sales meeting, trying to explain why your customer should spend thousands on your planning services.  Quite a few of these justifications will come in hand for you!
