Archer Technologies, a provider of enterprise governance, risk and compliance (E-GRC) solutions, today announced the launch of its advanced Business Continuity Management (BCM) solution, which combines business continuity, disaster recovery and crisis management functions into a single product offering. As the only solution provider to deliver this three-in-one approach, Archer is empowering Fortune 1000 companies and government agencies to “operationalize” their GRC programs through the seamless integration of business continuity management into their IT-GRC and E-GRC initiatives.

According to Roberta Witty, research vice president for Gartner, in Gartner Inc.’s “Research Roundup: Business Continuity Management and IT Disaster Recovery” January 2009, “The main drivers for BCM program growth and maturity — 24/7 service delivery, globalization and increasing operational risk — are expanding the scope of BCM beyond its roots in the IT department. To move toward a business operations management view of recovery, integrate BCM into the enterprise culture to ensure that continuity of operations is a key planning component in all business operations activities. Align IT DRM with BCM for an integrated approach.”
