Talk:Business continuity
I would like to see a lot more detail on the Business Continuity page. There is a list of components, but no detail as to what they are. Also, there is no mention of identifing business functions —Preceding unsigned comment added by Derhexer (talk • contribs) 23:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merging & Redirection
Business Continuity and Business Continuity Planning whilst related are two separate subjects, one refers to what Business Continuity is, the nature of success, the nature of failure and the content itself - the other refers to planning to achieve such thing. Therefore, whilst related they are in fact very different subjects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.60.105.237 (talk) 13:55, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
I have added some additional text for each of the components of business continuity, and I will continue to add to this page as I have time. Dana French, Mt Xia Inc. Aug 4, 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.171.225.24 (talk) 18:17, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
I have provided an explanation between the terms "Business Continuity", "Business Continuity Planning", and "Disaster Recovery". This should clarify the differences between them.

Please do not merge or redirect this article, as it's seperate from Business continuity planning, in that it deals with the general subject, rather than specifically the planning aspect of business continuity. -- Lee Carré 01:44, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'd like to raise the merge with BCP issue again as the two are so closely related and this article has yet to become anything more than 1 sentence in such a long time. BCP is a well formed, full article with much more info on the subject. I reverted spam and a new planning section as it's already covered over on BCP. --Breno talk 07:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
I think there is a good case for coalescing all Business Continuity (BC) articles under a single heading of the same name. However, it is important to then set out that BC is very often (and I believe correctly) referred to as BC Management (BCM). Indeed, this is specifically mentioned in British Standards Institute (BSI) standard BS25999 which is the only national standard on BC anywhere in the world. As part of BCM one or more BC plans should be created and maintained. That is referred to as BC Planning (BCP). Going beyond this are other features ranging Business Impact Analysis to Recovery Options - that all exist under the umbrella of BC --Patrick56 (talk) 18:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
The bold passage above is incorrect. NFPA 1600 exists as a recognized standard, and has been in existence longer than BS 25999.
The ASIS/BSI standard ASIS/BSI BCM.01:2010 has been published (Dec 2010) and adds to the National Standards landscape. Work is also underway at ISO to publish an ISO Standard (ISO 22301) expected to be released late in Q4 2011 or early 2012 BCM adviser (talk) 10:54, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Conflict of Interest
Article appears to have been heavily edited by Dana French (User:Dfrench aka 12.171.225.24 and others) who has an obvious WP:COI. Article and external links should be reviewed for policy issues (e.g. WP:NPOV) before the tag is removed. -- samj inout 18:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
