Customer Reviews

This book is a good logical layout of BCP.

For the money, Myers's book on contingency planning should be on every BCP/DR manager's shelf. Its layout allows for quick review and easy reference, and the sample plan that can be used as a foundation to build your own plan. While nothing new comes out of this book, it is refreshing to see good, cost effective and logical fundamentals being written about. It's a back to basics approach to getting everyone educated and involved. The simple wording allows for the "not so computer savvy" manager to understand the issues. The only thing missing that I was hoping to read about is how BCP implementation & documentation will improve the day-to-day efficiencies in the workplace. He alludes to this fact, but should explore how to use this information to help sell the overall program.
