Exonaut® named in Gartner BCM Software Ecosystem publication

4C Strategies are pleased to announce that Gartner, the global research and advisory firm, has acknowledged our Exonaut® software platform in its 2021 Business Continuity Management Software Ecosystem publication.

In addition to Business Continuity Management (BCM), Exonaut solutions are also named for the Crisis / Emergency Management Solution (C/EM), and Pandemic Management Solution vendor mapping areas.

Gartner also calls out 4C Strategies as a compliance management software provider in its “Managing Regulatory Changes for COVID-19 and Beyond” publication. The report offers best practices and solutions to help application leaders bring order to their organizations, both in the immediate crisis of COVID-19 and beyond.

Gartner’s strategic planning assumption is that by 2025, 75% of BCM programme ecosystem solution purchases will be suite solutions, as integrated platforms, such as Exonaut, will continue to eliminate the siloed model of managing operational risk.

The following benefits of implementing a Business Continuity Management Planning (BCMP) solution are highlighted:

• A structured and consistent approach to BCM planning and exercising that saves time in recovery plan management
• Effective reporting on the trends and status of the BCMP programme activities, roles, resources, et al
• Understanding relationships between business functions and resource usage (such as workforce, facilities, IT, suppliers/third parties, equipment)
• Tracking BCMP awareness and education performance
• Real-time and interactive capability when responding to a crisis with activity logging for evidentiary purposes
• Leveraging recovery data to move the organisation to higher levels of maturity and organisational resilience
• Enabling a knowledge base of organisational processes so that organisational changes do not derail the effective management of continuity of operations
