Ongoing Program Managment

Many Credit Unions have already established business continuity and/or disaster recovery initiatives. Ongoing Operations can enhance and expand upon the day to day management of a credit union’s program through a service offering called Program Management. This consists of a team of business continuity and disaster recovery experts who work with your credit union constantly to administer, run and support your internal efforts.

Here’s a list of some of the annual tasks and exercises that the team will work on with your credit union.

  • Weekly Project Management
    (for new solution installation)
  • Annual 5 Tier Testing Program
    (with certification)
  • Table Top Exercises
  • BCP/DR Plan Review
  • Vendor Coordination
  • Simulation Development
  • Resource Library
  • Solution Development
  • Training (new and existing employees)
  • Strategy Development

What Takes Place:

Once you have decided to sign on with Ongoing Operations, a team consisting of Business Continuity Planners, Project Managers, Information Technology Consultants, and Management Consultants hold a kick-off meeting with the credit union. During this meeting an initial series of goals and objectives is set. Next the team establishes a 3 or 5 year plan to get your credit union to achieve its’ Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plan goals. Some or all of the listed components are used to establish timelines, milestones and critical objectives. Then the Ongoing Operations team works to fully integrate the credit union’s existing and new plans and assists in managing the new Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning objectives.
