Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP)
Interruptions to important business functions and processes are costly. The main
purpose of continuity of operations planning is the same for all organizations:
to make certain your program functions without interruption during a disaster. Effective
continuity of operations planning activities range from understanding the organization,
to identifying essential functions and support requirements, to validating the plan
through simulation exercises.
At Systems Plus, our highly experienced, certified professionals have decades of
business continuity experience in government agencies and the private sector including:
IT disaster resiliency, administrative settings, industrial environments, and logistics.
We have emergency management and continuity of operations planning professionals
who are Certified Business Continuity Professionals (CBCP), Certified Emergency
Managers (CEM), and have Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) credentials.
We tailor our services to match your agency’s needs and exact requirements. We provide
a complete team, guided by certified professionals, to create your COOP plan from
beginning to end—or only the portions you need. We can continue to upgrade and maintain
your program by providing training, monitoring, making routine updates, and conducting
