Interruptions to normal business are a common occurrence in today’s environment. Whether due to environmental events, man made disasters or health warnings it seems the causes are multiplying and getting more diverse. Traditional business continuity plans have focused on data and facility recovery. There is a growing recognition that business continuity in today’s environment will mean continuing operations for an extended time with reduced access to staff or with staff located at non- traditional places of business.

AnyWare Group’s business continuity solution is designed for organizations preparing for an event requiring staff to work remotely. In an event, such as a virus outbreak, staff are commonly prevented from entering their work place, but their skills are still needed if an organization is going to continue to function. The ROAM business continuity solution is designed to allow business to securely outfit isolated or stranded workers with the IT tools they need to keep a business’s operations running, wherever they are located.

How does it work?

As a managed service, the ROAM business continuity solution is implemented within days without incurring capital costs for hardware and software, including related license agreements. There are no monthly billing fees until ROAM is used to provide remote access to staff in the case of an emergency or pandemic.

Once implemented, this scalable solution can be expanded to an organization’s entire staff within minutes, ensuring staff gain immediate access to critical applications at a moment’s notice. ROAM’s Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities ensure that all applications can be easily accessed without having to remember numerous passwords. The service also includes a role-based access mechanism that determines individual access parameters to control which applications each person can use, and to what extent.
