CU Resources Spotlight
Agility Recovery Solutions - business as usual, even
after a disaster.
Affordable, turn-key business continuity solution for credit unions.
If you can’t take care of your members, they’ll find someone else who can.
That’s the reality of business today and nothing tests your ability to
meet the needs of your members like an unforeseen disaster. Some startling
statistics outline the importance of being prepared:
60% of all businesses that experience a prolonged interruption are out of
business within 2 years.
90% of businesses unable to resume operations within 5 days are out of
business within 1 year.
Most credit union managers and executives realize the risks and the
importance of being prepared. Yet perceived obstacles such as high cost
and substantial time commitment often discourage small and medium sized
credit unions from taking the first step.
Agility Recovery Solutions is a CUNA Strategic Alliance Partner, providing
New York Credit Unions with the business continuity solution.
Agility
Recovery Solutions is a former division of GE with 17 years of experience.
The Agility
promise is simple but profound: starting at only $250 a month, Agility
will make sure your credit union is equipped to stay in business, no
matter how big or small the catastrophe. Within 48 hours of a disaster,
they will deliver the resources and tools that your credit union needs to
resume operations, including mobile office space, desks and chairs, power
generation, technology, telephone and internet connectivity and much more.
Agility has a 100% success rate - including multiple recoveries in the
wake of Hurricanes Katrina, Wilma, Rita and September 11, 2001 - and they
will do whatever it takes to keep it there.
A
proven way to handle the risk. A proven way to handle the cost.
How can Agility deliver all of these capabilities for $250/month? When you
become a member of Agility, they will
work with you to assess your risk exposure and develop an optimal response
strategy and an executable plan.
If you declare a disaster, Agility will set that plan in motion and
you will be billed for net out-of-pocket recovery costs. Agility does not
profit from your disaster, you simply cover their costs. Better yet,
proper insurance coverage could mitigate these expenses.
All of Agility’s clients that have experienced an interruption were
relieved that they had planned and prepared in advance. We have no doubt
you will be too.
Disaster
does not have to mean the end for a credit union.
Agility
responded to close to 40 businesses in the wake of the 2005 hurricane
season. Most were small to medium sized businesses. A year ago, those
businesses would be struggling to reopen their doors. Today, they are
fully operational, servicing customers and helping their communities
rebuild.
