THE PLANNER: A Business Recovery Story© was written using a time-tested industry-accepted business recovery process. It was designed to not only explain what you need to do, but it starts you going with eight critical recovery plans to start building on. It includes: Critical emergency type teams, information systems (PC/LAN/Mid-Range) and network teams (voice and data), and both core business and corporate support (purchasing, AP/AR, payroll, etc.) recovery functions. It is a complete package, that allows you to immediately start adding your business’ critical information.   The Story-M40© has over 290 pages, the Story-M20© has over 180 pages, and Story-SB© has over 90 pages.

THE SOFTWARE: There is no need to learn a new software product, or rely on outside support for data base software. A Business Recovery Story©
uses MS Word, already familiar to millions of users and requiring no additional training. The software is compatible with MS Word 6.0, 97, 98 and 2000 users. Finally, for 95% of the businesses and organizations, MS Word is the ideal software tool.

IN SUMMARY: The quality and accuracy of your finished recovery plan is proportional to the time and effort you and your company will put into it. That is, if you put the same amount of time and effort into A Business Recovery Story©, as you would into planners priced ten times higher, both would be equal in quality and functionality. Period!
