Define, sequence, and adapt task relationships — even in the middle of a crisis.
SIB lets you associate different business continuity tasks that are related to each other through interdependencies. You can define a sequential order for all tasks that constitute a business continuity process flow — and your business continuity manager can use the platform to ensure that order is followed during execution.
Dependencies can be defined dynamically through one-to-one and one-to-many relationships — including for ad hoc tasks created on the spot during a crisis. And if a dependency hampers execution mid-response, SIB gives you the flexibility to modify it in real time, as many times as needed.
A task must be completed before the next task can begin
A task must begin before a dependent task can start
A single task can gate multiple dependent tasks simultaneously
A flexible dependency engine that keeps your recovery processes coordinated — before and during any disruption.
Define a precise sequential order for every task in your business continuity process flow. Specify which task must be completed first, which must come last, and which must begin or end relative to other tasks — creating a structured execution path.
Define interdependencies dynamically through one-to-one and one-to-many relationships. Dependencies can also be established for ad hoc tasks created on the spur of the moment during a crisis — no pre-planning required for unexpected situations.
During an emergency, discovered conflicts between tasks can be resolved immediately. SIB allows dependencies to be modified as many times as needed — even while plans are being executed — without disrupting the overall response.
When a primary employee is unavailable to execute a task, it is automatically reassigned to the designated alternate. If the alternate is also unavailable, the platform gives you the convenience of manually reassigning to any other available employee.
From planned sequences to real-time adaptations — SIB's interdependency module handles every execution scenario.
Designate which task must be completed first in any process — ensuring foundational steps are never skipped before dependent work can begin.
Define which task marks the completion of a process flow — providing a clear end state for each business continuity process and enabling accurate progress tracking.
Specify that a task must begin only after a particular preceding task has been completed — enforcing logical sequencing across the full recovery process.
If time constraints require skipping a task, re-link dependencies so the third task executes immediately after the first — without needing to wait for the bypassed step.
Task status is monitored in real time through an insightful interface that coordinates the simultaneous execution of multiple business continuity processes across your organization.
New tasks created spontaneously during a crisis can immediately be linked into the existing dependency chain — keeping unplanned work coordinated with the rest of the response.
