PR Newswire (US)
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Strohl Systems has
announced that the latest version of its industry leading business
continuity management software, LDRPS 10, has been released. The
new version is designed to provide planning expertise to
organizations of all sizes, to be accessed from anywhere at anytime
and through the use of new technologies, provide a tool that
requires minimum training and BCP experience. "Extensive market
research and ongoing, open dialogue with our users, has ensured
that LDRPS 10 will not only make business continuity planning
easier and more comprehensive, but will make BCP accessible to more
organizations," said Brian Turley, President of Strohl Systems.
"This release represents tens of thousands of man-hours of
development and interactions with our customers. We have invested
more time, money and resources into this effort than any other
release in the history of Strohl Systems." With LDRPS 10, the
product is available through an On Demand ASP subscription service
option for the first time. This means no hardware installation or
software maintenance is required to build plans using LDRPS. The
product is scaled for use by organizations of any size and features
a newly designed, easy-to-use interface that simplifies the
planning process and decreases the time to build plans and train
new users. "The new user interface makes it much easier to build
business continuity plans," said Ron Colaizzi, Global Business
Continuity Manager with Cabot Microelectronics Corporation, who was
one of the Beta testers of LDRPS 10. "I was able to start building
business continuity plans which are based on best practices
immediately." Cabot Microelectronics Corporation is the world's
leading supplier of chemical mechanical planarization slurry which
helps flatten and polish silicon wafers to a near-perfect
smoothness, critical in semiconductor and data storage
manufacturing. With facilities in nine countries and over 650
employees, Cabot's products play a critical role in the production
of the most advanced semiconductor devices. "The release of LDRPS
10 vividly illustrates that Strohl Systems listens to their
customers," said Colaizzi. "From the graphical call tree to the
dependency map, things I and other users have requested have been
incorporated into the product. In addition, the product still has
the comprehensive BCP experience and knowledge we have come to
expect from Strohl." LDRPS 10 will be available in three distinct
and scalable versions to accommodate an organization's planning
requirements: * LDRPS Essential will benefit organizations that are
seeking to automate the business continuity planning process. *
LDRPS Professional was developed to accommodate organizations that
have a larger number of concurrent users and those with a need for
customization. * LDRPS Enterprise is designed to provide larger
organizations with robust planning and functionality. The On Demand
subscription is available in LDRPS Essential and Professional.
Perpetual license versions of LDRPS 10 Professional and Enterprise
will be available in the near future. Other key new features of
LDRPS 10 include: * A Plan Navigator that helps planners follow a
logical and consistent sequence of planning tasks. It offers a
built-in methodology and guidance based on years of consulting
experience, research and development that asks users questions and
prompts them for the data needed to complete their plans; * A
Dependency Map which is a completely new graphic display of
internal and external processes, hardware and application
relationships. It better enables planners to recognize dependencies
and interactions; * A graphical call list that will enable users to
drag, drop and add employees, vendors, customers and their
alternates to the call list with ease; * Over 200 built-in standard
reports that can be used as the foundation for building customized
output or used as is; * Location Resource Manager which provides
users the ability to make informed decisions regarding
over-allocation or under utilization at an alternate site as well
as inventory and document available resources. This tool can be
used during planning to optimize hot/cold site contracts or during
incidents to find the location that best suits an organization's
needs; and * LDRPS 10 has been developed using new technology,
making it faster and more flexible than ever before. It now uses
the Microsoft .NET framework and includes support for SQL Server,
SQL Server Express and Oracle database platforms. For more
