Business Resiliency

Critical business functions and supporting infrastructure must be designed to withstand disruptions. If they fail, they must be quickly recovered or restored.

Archer Business Resiliency

Archer Business Resiliency provides an automated approach to business continuity and disaster recovery planning and execution, enabling swift response in crisis situations to protect your ongoing operations. With the Archer® Suite, you can assess the criticality of business processes and supporting technologies, and develop detailed business continuity and disaster recovery plans using an automated workflow for plan testing and approval.

Description

Prerequisites

Archer Business Impact Analysis

To understand the criticality of business processes in any organization, you must develop business impact analysis. Archer Business Impact Analysis is designed to help you determine the criticality of business processes so they can be prioritized and sequenced for recovery planning and building resiliency measures. Campaign capabilities enable you to drive business impact analysis (BIA) updates across business processes that support a set of products and services or align with particular business units or other organizations. The use case provides out-of-the-box workflow to drive updates through your business process owners, with built-in approval, monitoring, notification, and reporting. You can share information with interdependent teams across the organization to help align your business continuity, IT disaster recovery, and crisis teams so everyone has the same planning and recovery priorities.
