Case Study

Sona was able able to provide a BCP solution to a large financial organisation that enabled the workflow and process necessary to deal with onsite or location specific disaster, send alerts and directions to employees that outlined procedures and backup procedures.

This international enterprise needed to be able to track a power failure in Europe while at the same time responding to a facility threat in Asia by providing maps of locations that were affected which were delivered to  mobile devices.

The company also has the ability to retrieve manuals and documentation on emergency servers and to access password protected areas that outlined their continuity procedures.

Dynamic mapping, document retrieval and alerts area all part of the solution Sona configured for this client. The result was faster response times and streamlined communications, lessening the impact on the corporate reputation.
