How a university used BCIC to increase visibility, maintain compliance, and reach higher levels of readiness.
The University of Central Florida (UCF), a major metropolitan research university located in an area prone to severe weather events, faces a unique set of business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR)challenges. The school’s Department of Emergency Management built its BC/DR program using static documents, which required manual plan approval from numerous teams.
However, the University’s Department of Emergency Management had forward-looking goals to mature its preparedness program, stay ahead of potential regulations, and lead the way for other institutions in higher education. To achieve them, the team needed to adopt the right BC/DR platform.
