  Myrtue Medical Center was looking for a solution that was both effective and efficient. The hospital had a large number of computers and servers on their network, and a limited staff.

Approximately 400 users will be served by the solution. The hospital is also using Terminal Services to provide remote applications to internal and external users.

whitepaper Strohl Systems Group Case Study: Exel2006-08-23 01:00:12 Strohl Systems Group
  Exel, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, is one of the world's leading providers of supply chain design and management services. Business continuity planning became a high-priority action item in 1998, when Risk Management Director was assigned the responsibility for the success of the program. Shortly after that time, Exel purchased the LDRPS LAN version and began developing disaster recovery plans. A special Y2K team was assembled. Its first function was to perform a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to determine any potential Y2K vulnerabilities. When the BIA was completed it became obvious that Exel needed more than just a Y2K disaster recovery plan; Exel needed a full-blown and corporate-wide Business Continuity Planning (BCP) effort.   
whitepaper Staying One Step Ahead2006-08-23 01:00:12 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.   
whitepaper Strohl Gets the Early Word Out With NotiFind2006-08-23 01:00:12 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.   
whitepaper Strohl Systems Group Case Study: Countrywide Financial2006-08-23 01:00:12 Strohl Systems Group
  Countrywide Financial is a member of the S&P 500, Forbes 500 and Fortune 500. The company reached the point when everyone began to realize that there was no way they could adequately maintain their business continuity plans using (a word processing tool). It was during one of the disaster recovery simulations when it became obvious that the power and efficiency needed to do the job right just wasn't there. When this realization occurred, the business continuity manager at Countrywide Financial was confident of his proposed resolution. Through regularly scheduled disaster recovery simulations, LDRPS has proven to Countrywide Financial that they are now able to accurately and adequately maintain their vast amount of plans.
