Empower Business Continuity (BC) LAC/E

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity are theoretical exercises…until they aren’t.

With increased cyberactivity – malware and ransomware – and natural disasters on the rise, it is critical to not only prepare for disaster with a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) but also to proactively prepare your organization with a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) that includes how to continue operations while disconnected from the network.  

Empower™ Business Continuity (BC) LAC/E™ with SecureSync™ keeps your laboratory operations running with a simple switch from Empower Enterprise mode to Business Continuity mode – safely, with traceability and in a controlled manner – so you can continue working without your network for as long as the interruption lasts.
