BC FRAMEWORK™ MS Word® checklists, models and templates recently updated and revised. This product is particularly easy to use and only basic BC knowledge is required. It is suitable for SMEs, being cheap, but it has been used internationally by Philips Electronics, Origin, Cable & Wireless and DHL. It is also being used by a European intergovernmental financial organization. This is a complete "soup to nuts" package, probably the most comprehensive toolkit produced covering everything from Project Initiation and Project Plans through Risk Assessment, Business Impact Assessment, BC Strategy, BC Plans – several models – and BC Testing. Benefits it usually sells within the signing authority of a junior to middle manager: this saves delay and hassle as well as detailed ITT requirements, tendering and evaluation. It's paper clip money. This means also that some organizations that could not afford software can afford this tool. it is completely and easily tailorable / amendable it saves training and training costs. It is simple to use to start with and needs minimal training, unlike many packages which can be unwieldy, cumbersome and complex to the uninitiated and require significant training since it is standard word processing, line managers have no excuse for not taking ownership of their BCPs since all the best packages import Word documents, nothing has been lost if the client later decides to use a high end package the cost of a high end package can be considerable - often we can complete a BC Planning assignment using BC Framework for less than the cost of a package (i.e. our consulting, using BC Framework, is cheaper than just the purchase of a competitive package)
