Business Resiliency

To survive in today's threat environment, enterprises of all sizes must understand the costs of business interruption, plan to deal with the unexpected, protect life and safety, and, for those most critical business processes, maintain continuous operations under any circumstances. To help our clients meet that threat, CIBER offers solutions in three main areas of Business Resilience.

Disaster Recovery - begins at the incident, ends at the resumption of normal operations, and is focused on resources. CIBER will engage with you to develop disaster recovery plans, conduct exercise coordination and plan testing.

Business Continuity - begins before the incident, is continuous, and focuses on business processes. CIBER services include business impact and risk analysis, business continuity strategies and planning, continuity planning, education and exercises.

High Availability – ongoing protection of data and application accessibility are key ingredients of IT organizations in businesses of all types and sizes. CIBER offers solutions, regardless of platform, that help to achieve true 24x7 data processing capability.

Security Assessments

Building an effective security program requires assessing your current situation. CIBER offers a full suite of technical and programmatic assessments to evaluate security practices, vulnerabilities, risks, regulatory compliance, and enterprise security strategy. Our assessments provide a comprehensive, objective review of the presence and effectiveness of security controls in your organization.

Enterprise Mobility Solutions

To make the right decisions, every business depends on timely and accurate data. However, many organizations still use manual, error-prone methods to enter, access, and manipulate data in their manufacturing, inventory, distribution, and field services operations. In some cases, this data is never properly entered into the enterprise application system and the potential for accurate, complete information visibility is never fully realized.

To resolve these issues, many astute companies are applying mobile solutions to drive more timely, accurate information into their enterprise systems. These solutions can include a wide range of wireless networks, mobile computing devices, barcode label printing and scanning for data collection, and integration software that links the mobile data source to business systems.

CIBER can help you design, select and implement the most appropriate wireless data collection and printing solutions for your business. We can help integrate these solutions with your enterprise software applications to drive enhanced productivity and reduce costs, while adhering to a proven implementation methodology that helps control costs, manage project schedules and minimize risk.
