Why Preparis?

Key questions our customers ask when selecting an enterprise preparedness product.

 

How do I know Preparis works?

Our clients will tell you. In the past 12 months, Preparis helped organizations make it through terrorism, H1N1, earthquakes, floods, workplace violence, white powder/anthrax letters, wildfires, and hurricanes to name a few. When called upon, Preparis delivered.

My company has a business continuity plan and IT disaster recovery system for our data. Is that enough?

No. While most companies today maintain systems for protecting their data and computer systems these systems offer no protection to their most important enterprise assets: their people, operations, and brand. An enterprise preparedness program serves as the most crucial foundation that even makes business continuity and IT disaster recovery much stronger.

Is Preparis a consulting company?

No. While all organizations should have plans, it has been our observation that a plans-only approach creates documents that sit on the shelf and are rarely tested, updated, and communicated. Simply put, plans alone do not equal preparedness.

Does Preparis customize its solutions?

Yes. Our customers easily tailor Preparis to integrate seamlessly into their operations and culture. We have tools that analyze what you have in place currently and will integrate those elements with the Preparis solution. Since our information, training, tools, and protocols apply to any sized organization, customization is usually minimal. This means we can activate a best-in-class preparedness program within a very short time frame and ‘ahead of the threat’.

Why is an enterprise portal so important?

A Preparedness Web Portal will ensure your firm maintains up-to-date and effective response and communication 24/7. Threats constantly change, putting pressure on your company to stay current on today’s threats and prepared for future risks. Your web portal will provide crucial training, tools, text messaging, and expert support on an on-going basis. Online technology is the ideal platform for managing and communicating an effective enterprise preparedness program, and with Preparis hosting the application, there is no IT footprint.

How does mobile integrate with Preparis?

Your Preparis subscription includes the industry's first mobile apps for iPhone and BlackBerry that offer best-in-class preparedness tools and information when you need it most. Crisis events can happen anywhere and anytime. Preparis Mobile™ delivers response protocols to dozens of threats, company specific information and crisis plans, and communication tools from the convenience of mobile devices. Your executives, managers and employees will stay connected and safer on the go - even if cellular towers are not operable.

How much does Preparis cost?

We believe companies of all sizes should be able to easily implement an enterprise preparedness program, and our fee structure was designed with that in mind. Based on the number of offices your company has, we charge a subscription allowing your organization to immediately benefit from best-in-class business preparedness with minimal upfront time and investment.

Why was Preparis created?

We are a trusted partner that provides turnkey, best-in-class preparedness solutions that really work.
