Instant, secure communication built directly into your business continuity platform.
The chat feature of Stay In Business is a great way for employees to connect with each other, consult, and provide suggestions to colleagues and team members during improvised crisis scenarios. The module can be accessed from anywhere in the application for instant information sharing.
During disruptions, plans are deployed and personnel log in to update the status of various tasks. Because disasters are erratic and unpredictable by nature, many standalone tasks are created on an ad hoc basis — and employees in the thick of action often require additional support. The chat module closes that gap immediately.
SIB automatically creates chat rooms for every BC/DR team the moment a plan is activated
Full mobile chat support — stay connected even when away from a desk during a crisis
All conversations are logged and viewable by admins across customizable time ranges
SIB's chat module supports every communication style needed during a crisis — from confidential one-on-one exchanges to organization-wide broadcasts.
Confidentiality can be maintained while dealing with sensitive data, or simply to avoid too many opinions or complications while responding to a tricky situation. Private one-on-one messaging keeps critical decisions discreet.
Facilitates communication between individuals belonging to a particular team or department. Keep the right people aligned without pulling in unrelated staff during an active incident response.
Used when different employees and teams collaborate to collectively respond to incidents. SIB automatically creates a dedicated chat room for each BC/DR team — ready to use the moment staff log in.
Standard messages can be sent out to all individuals in the organization simultaneously. Use broadcasting to push critical updates, status changes, or safety instructions across the entire workforce in seconds.
SIB's instant messaging capability is fully supported on mobile devices running both Android and iOS platforms — ensuring teams stay connected regardless of whether they are in the office, working remotely, or on the move.
The SIB chat module is designed with administrator control and compliance in mind — so communication stays safe even during the most chaotic situations.
Administrators can restrict access to chat rooms, ensuring that only authorised personnel can join and that sensitive information stays within the right channels.
All chats are recorded for future reference. Administrators can view conversations from customized time ranges — invaluable for post-incident review and compliance reporting.
The application automatically creates chat rooms for each BC/DR team. Users just log in, open chat, and join their room — zero setup required during a high-pressure incident.
Beyond auto-generated team rooms, you can create personalized chat rooms for specific groups drawn from different teams — enabling flexible cross-functional collaboration.
Chat is not a bolt-on tool — it is a native module within the SIB platform, accessible from every part of the application for seamless context without switching tools.
Because SIB is cloud hosted, the chat module remains accessible even if your primary office location is offline — ensuring communication continuity when it matters most.
