GAITHERSBURG, MD -- November 27, 2007 -- Paradigm Solutions International, Inc. (PSI), an industry leading provider of emergency planning solutions and services, has announced the release of OpsPlanner™ version 3.6, known as its OpsPlanner™ Financial Services Edition.

OpsPlanner v3.6 is a comprehensive business continuity plan development, crisis management, and emergency notification solution designed specifically for the financial services industry.  Incorporated into the toolset are industry specific survey capabilities, recovery scripts, planning templates, forms, and checklists, to fast forward the planning process in an effort to improve the preparedness of the financial institution.

The OpsPlanner™ Financial Services Edition is the result of years of collaboration between the Certified Business Continuity Professionals (CBCP) and Product Development teams of PSI.  Team members have hundreds of years of collective financial services industry experience and have drafted hundreds of business continuity programs for financial industry clients.

OpsPlanner™ v3.6 has been designed to systematically guide financial institution planners through the BCP process oriented approach that involves Business Impact Analysis, Risk Assessment, Risk Management, and Risk Monitoring as recommended by the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (FFIEC) guidelines.  These requirements dictate programs which are comprehensive in nature and contemplate the recovery needs of every functional department.  

“Key decision makers within the financial services industry realize the need to prepare to face a broad array of threats, and to meet FFIEC requirements”, stated Raymond Huger, CEO of PSI.  “We believe they must utilize leading edge tools to accomplish the corporate objective of being prepared.  Our OpsPlanner™ Financial Services Edition is one of the most advanced solutions tailored for the financial services industry”.

The application is easy to use and fully web enabled, giving plan access at any time from any place in the world.  The toolset also supports plan development and rapid recovery by including functionality such as a full document repository, programmed reminders, dependency mapping, automatic logging and archiving of incident activities, and automated two-way notification.  In the event of a disaster, users may seamlessly and instantaneously contact plan stakeholders, utilize conference bridging to coordinate response efforts, post and view white board images, and dynamically manage the disaster with the tool’s dashboard as a guide.  

“Our new OpsPlanner edition will help insure that our financial services clients will be well prepared”, Huger added.
