Creating a New BC DR Technology Frontier @ BCMpedia
(Business Continuity Management and Disaster Recovery Wikipedia) 
 
Singapore, 1st September, 2008 – Many business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) professionals feel isolated in their roles and it’s now time for that to change with BCMpedia. We are all too familiar. In the 21st century, there is a floodgate of natural disasters, terrorism, political disruptions, company mismanagement and crisis management no lacking, There is an apparent concern for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery practices in companies and nationwide. However the underlying concerns of inconsistencies in standards; terminologies and best practices in the community leave practitioners confused and always searching for the correct ones. The lack of such a depositary of information being made available becomes the motivation for this site to be created.

BCMpedia or BCM Wikipedia is the brain child of Dr Goh Moh Heng, a renowned Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) practitioner. Dr Goh is also the President of BCM Institute. BCMpedia strives to be a Wikipedia-inspired information portal specially catered for Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) Learning. It provides professionals with information and knowledge at their finger tips or to be precise, mouse clicks; starting with the glossary for business continuity and disaster recovery.

BCMpedia adhere to the practice of Wikipedia, as it remains an open community and professionals are able to contribute and edit information on this BC/DR portal. Users find themselves immersed in BC and DR glossaries, industry best practices, definitions from broad spectrum of the industry, and also a networking portal for practitioners to input their professional profiles. Unlike a paper reference source, BCMpedia is continually updated, with the creation or updating of articles on topical events within seconds, minutes or hours, rather than months or years for printed textbooks. It is also consistent with the standards of SS 540 (Singapore), BS 25999 (U.K.), NFPA 1600 (U.S.) and HB 292(Australia). BC and DR is embarking on a new technology revolution and stand alone practitioners will now have a share of voice on a common platform on BCMpedia. Join us.
