Effectively Manage Dramatic Operational Situations With Business Continuity
Management 

NEW YORK and 'S-HERTOGENBOSCH, Netherlands, 2013-06-13 11:59 CEST (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) --
BWise, a NASDAQ OMX company and the leading provider of Enterprise Governance,
Risk Management and Compliance (eGRC) software, will host a webinar on how to
effectively manage through disruptive situations with Business Continuity
Management (BCM) on June 20th. 

With the rash of extreme weather events around the globe in recent years, it is
evident senior management teams need an understanding of how well the
organization is prepared for unforeseen incidents. The webinar will demonstrate
how to effectively manage out-of-control situations with BWise® Business
Continuity Management. BCM aligns both business continuity (BC) and disaster
recovery (DR) activities with operational and enterprise risks during
out-of-control situations. The webinar will be offered twice to accommodate
global time zones. For more information on the webinar, please click here. 

"Unforeseen incidents can drastically impact an organization's day-to-day
business. No organization is immune to these crises with sometimes catastrophic
consequences yet several recent studies have emphasized that BCM isn't as
mature as it should be. However, enterprises are able to prepare themselves for
these incidents by engaging a Business Continuity Plan" said Luc Brandts, BWise
CTO, "By implementing a BCM plan organizations can proactively identify the
impacts of operational disruption. Responding quickly and effectively to these
disruptions will minimize the event's impact on the organization." 

The BWise® GRC Platform can support your organization's end-to-end BCM needs,
and put managers back in control of drastic situations often brought on by
these seemingly frequent natural forces. The BWise platform supports and tracks
preparatory activities such as completing a business impact analysis (BIA),
developing BC/DR plans and creating BC/DR plan awareness amongst employees.
During the potential incident, BWise ensures an integrated flow of information
that aligns the activities specific to the organization's BCM needs with the
operational and enterprise risks.
