Integrating BCM culture into your company
The HiScout BCM module is a new generation of BCM tools that can generate quantifiable benefits even when there is no emergency, and is therefore not only used to help you to plan for circumstances that will hopefully never arise. HiScout BCM can analyze and document in detail the vulnerability of key business factors (processes, structures, resources), irrespective of their size or complexity. HiScout BCM can also generate customized and up-to-date plans of action at the push of a button in the case of business process failures. It can also check that regulatory requirements (e.g. laws, directives) are being met at any given time.
