A formal business impact analysis (BIA) quantifies the impacts to your organization caused by the loss of one or more application systems and in turn supported business processes, enabling you to quantify your downside and identify suitable solutions to protecting those application systems. 

In addition to detailing all business impacts across numerous categories (financial, product and service delivery, employee productivity, regulatory, supply chain, etc.), our BIA service identifies relationships between application systems and business processes, financial exposure (where quantifiable), short-term contingency and work around actions in the absence of an application system, and fine-tune the all important recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTO and RPO) metrics. The end result is a BIA report for high-level consumption, and population of all salient information into your Web Planner site.

Smaller organizations with a finite number of application systems often already know what’s important and what’s not, and may choose to simply use Web Planner’s intuitive fill-in-the-blanks approach to recording impacts and metrics (with our without our assistance).

Larger organizations with many applications and business processes on the other hand, may find it difficult to assess relative impacts resulting from their loss, and desire a BIA to untangle the web of complexity associated with properly prioritizing application recovery. In addition, they may be compelled by oversight agencies, external auditors or audit committees, to undertake a formal BIA on a periodic basis.
