Virtual Corporation is a leader in assisting organizations to implement sustainable business continuity. Our core consulting philosophy respects the time constraints of project participants and seeks to ensure smooth knowledge transfer to those with on-going responsibilities. 

Virtual Corporation has developed an efficient, repeatable method for developing and sustaining business continuity plans. This approach is highly scalable and has been successfully deployed for small regional organizations as well as large multi-nationals. While the landscape for business continuity standards continues to evolve, this approach meets or exceeds the requirements of ITIL, NFPA 1600, BS 25999, and many other published BC regulations and emerging standards.

Extensive toolkits, quick results
Virtual Corporation has helped both government and corporate clients to implement business continuity plans that are prudent, practical and achievable. Our experienced consultants have created an extensive template library that enables us to quickly and cost-effectively assist our clients with all of their BC planning deployment needs.

Incident Management Planning
Incident management incorporates development of Crisis Management and Emergency Response Plans, and engaging executives in understanding their role to provide command, control and communications leadership during a disruptive event. Virtual Corporation offers a suite of services to clients looking for assistance in this important area. 

IT Disaster Recovery Planning
IT disaster recovery incorporates development of recovery plans for the critical applications, data center infrastructure and other IT assets and shared services. Frequently IT has already built some level of disaster protection and has struggled to engage the business in defining realistic business recovery objectives. As a result, there will be gaps in IT’s recovery strategy. In some cases, critical applications and technical infrastructure may be inadequately protected, while in other cases IT may have over invested in recovery solutions. Virtual Corporation’s experts will assist your IT organization to define realistic, properly grounded recovery objectives and create new plans or modify those that already exist.

Business Recovery Planning
Business recovery planning incorporates development of business recovery plans for all targeted operations and sites. Business recovery plans focus on defining tasks required to recover critical operations under a defined set of disaster event classes. These plans may also describe recovery team assignments, resource requirements (desk chairs, phones, etc), and a variety of valuable information used to ensure smooth and prompt recovery of operations.
