Abba offers business continuity session

US IT advisory and integration firm Abba Technologies will offer a free introductory session on business continuity planning on July 24 in Albuquerque, reports the New Mexico Business Weekly.

Planning experts and Abba representatives will discuss ways to prepare for disasters and provide an overview of Abba's business continuity planning course.

Abba will also supervise a checklist exercise for participants to help identify risks that could threaten businesses and to assess how prepared companies are to face disasters.

Repligen receives business continuity certification

Repligen Corporation says it is the first company in North America to receive certification to BS25999, the new standard for business continuity management, reports The Sun Herald.

Repligen developed and implemented a business continuity management system to ensure an uninterrupted supply of its recombinant Protein A products, a key consumable used by the biopharmaceutical industry to manufacture drugs called monoclonal antibodies.

Certification of Repligen's business continuity management system to BS25999 demonstrates that its program meets globally accepted best practices for business continuity, it says.
