Executive Summary§ Today’s business environment has near zero tolerance for service outages and disruptions,
regardless of cause.
§ The increase in complexity of business and technology environments has made it more difficult for organizations to get the right messages to the right contacts at the right time while sustaining content integrity.
§ Traditional methods of phone and email are no longer sufficient, and many of today’s incident management tools are limited to mass broadcast solutions.
§ With IBM Resiliency Communications as a Service (RCaaS), we can help you respond to a disruption event quickly and restore critical services to keep the business running during the incident/event. RCaaS enables your organization to:
– Integrate incident or disaster response workflows and communications in a dynamic, mobile platform
– Enable real time status tracking on activities of all responders– Concurrently send structured messages and receive corresponding updates from specific target
teams or contacts across multiple communications and media channels – Create an audit trail of all communications and responses – Improve information, decision making and effectiveness of response in the first critical hour
§ IBM has deep experience with designing, implementing and managing incident response and recovery procedures for business areas, technology recovery and executive crisis management teams.
§ IBM’s global reach and presence help us to seamlessly deliver a comprehensive suite of cloud managed services that can be customized to fit your IT and business needs.
Today we live in an always on world and evolving technologies are changing the way we do business

When a crisis event or incident occurs, organizations are highly vulnerable due to …
§ Enable faster response to an incident or event from various locations at any time
§ Simplify and streamline processes through process automation and governance to improve collaboration and reduce risk
§ Provide an easy to use administrative interface for structured repeatable response and contact management
§ Generate real time status reports and audit trails to speed decision making and improve transparency
§ Receive and integrate system generated IT recovery process messages in scheduled status reports
These concerns increase the need for a robust resilience solution that can …
