How a major Illinois insurance company replaced cumbersome paper-based BCDR plans with a dynamic cloud solution that field agents can access on any device, anywhere.

From Paper-Based Plans to Dynamic Cloud BCDR

An insurance giant headquartered in Illinois provides business, home, auto, life, and health insurance to customers in the Midwest. Paper-based business continuity plans were cumbersome to update and difficult to distribute among employees — especially field agents who travel frequently and need access to the plan from anywhere.

The organization implemented SIB's cloud-based disaster recovery platform — enabling dynamic plan maintenance, mobile access for all field agents, mass notification of employees and clients, and real-time recovery monitoring to ensure customers are never impacted during a disruption.

  • Dynamic plan updates with the click of a button
  • Mobile app access on any iOS or Android device
  • Mass notification for employees, agents, and customers
  • Real-time recovery monitoring ensures no customer impact
The Challenge
Paper Plans — Outdated & Inaccessible

Paper-based BCDR plans were cumbersome to update and difficult to distribute — especially to field agents who travel frequently and cannot access a static document

Alternate Site Relocation

Notifying employees and clients during a catastrophic disruption is paramount when the organization is shifting operations to an alternate facility

Customer Protection

Recovery activities must be executed immediately after a disruption to ensure the organization's customers do not get impacted by any delay in service restoration

Who, Challenge & Solution

SIB replaced static paper plans with a dynamic, mobile-first BCDR platform — giving an insurance giant the tools to notify stakeholders, manage recovery, and protect customers during any disruption.

Who

An insurance giant headquartered in Illinois that provides business, home, auto, life, and health insurance to customers in the Midwest — with a large field agent workforce that travels frequently and requires remote access to business continuity resources.

  • Field agents can't access static documents on the road
  • Immediate recovery needed to protect customers

SIB's cloud-based platform allows business continuity personnel to maintain a dynamic version of the plan — updates with a single click.

  • Mobile app on any iOS or Android device
  • Mass notification for all stakeholder groups
