Russ Lindburg is a Global Brand Executive for IBM Business Continuity & Resilience Services and will introduce you to a hosted solution developed through the combined expertise of IBM and Citrix. IBM Disaster Recovery Services for Workplace Recovery — Virtual Workplace Continuity integrates and automates many of the tasks involved in implementing a workforce continuity plan. Through the use of wizards, your business continuity planners can:
- Organize workers into logical groups
- Create and deliver multimode alerts
- Track workers in real-time through an
automated roll call
- Build a document and resource library
- Provide access to key business applications
Virtual Workplace Continuity allows displaced workers to
access real time event status and news feeds, post to an employee bulletin
board, enter and view key locations on an interactive map, communicate with
each other using peer to peer IM (chat) and soft phone clients, and keep in
touch with customers and vendors through office telephone call redirection.
When your business is disrupted by events such as severe
weather, natural disasters, transit strikes, or even an avian flu lockdown,
VWC helps keep your employees connected and working – and isn’t that what
business continuity is all about?
