Initiative developed due to an identified gap in our BCP program.
Historically contact information was held on plasticized cards and continuously out of date.
Trigger for change was NCR earthquake 2009.
This initiative looked at a cost effective solution to using existing technologies.
Technologies being considered were BlackBerry and Active Directory.
