| Countrywide Financial is a member of the S&P 500, Forbes 500 and Fortune 500.

| For Strohl client, Houston-based Baker Botts, one of America's oldest law firms, the Tropical Storm Allison provided an all-too-real opportunity to test its continuity plan.

Once he realized the severity of the situation, he sent people down in Houston quickly and got the systems shut down.

Strohl Gets the Early Word Out With NotiFind | 0000-00-00 | Strohl Systems Group |
| Strohl Systems' employees got an early wake-up call from NotiFind one snowy morning in February. They figured it was an ideal opportunity to use NotiFind for the first time in a non-test scenario. Ninety-six percent of Strohl's 130+ employees were reached within five minutes of activation via landline and cell phone, and responded to NoiFind's instructions. That the remaining four percent was not reached was not due to any fault of NotiFind, but instead occurred because of inaccuracies in recipients' listed contact method. Signore's preference of NotiFind over having to rely on call trees was obvious. Utilizing NotiFind was simple for Strohl since they had already built their plans and call trees in LDRPS.

Staying One Step Ahead | 0000-00-00 | Strohl Systems Group |
| In Fall 2003, Southern California was ravaged by wildfires. Pushed by the Santa Ana winds, the fire, which came to be known as the Simi Valley fire, would eventually burn more than 100,000 acres in Ventura County and parts of northwestern Los Angeles County. Within those acres lay Countrywide Financial's largest facility... a campus called Simi Main, where there are more than 5000 employees, including the Loan Administration department. The vice president of business continuity at Countrywide, meanwhile, was following the first steps of the business continuity plans. Using LDRPS, his team - most working from remote locations - devised a list of immediate contacts and a game plan for the coming days.

| It's not easy being a Floridian in recent past.

In this situation, even the most prepared business continuity planners are at serious risk for a major setback. But the good news is that LDRPS from Strohl Systems is built for situations like this, and can greatly increase the chances of getting right back up after being knocked down.

Investment in 64-Bit Intel Itanium 2 Servers Pays Returns for CommSec | 2006-07-17 | Microsoft |
| As Australia's largest online financial services provider, Commonwealth Securities Limited (CommSec) needs to ensure that the internal and external Web sites it maintains, which receive more than 27 million hits a day, are providing the fastest and most effective user experience possible. This requires regular analysis of server performance logs, but a log analysis system proved unable to provide results quickly enough to support business decisions. A 4-way Intel Architecture server running 1.5GHz Intel Itanium 2 processors and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 manages the logging, processing, storage and analysis of Web user logs relating to 40 million weekly hits served up by dozens of Web servers running CommSec's many internal and external transactional sites.
