Preparis

Preparis is business continuity software with an explicitly stated mission: bringing continuity planning within reach of everyday businesses through solutions that are easy to use, affordable and practical. The vendor's own line, that continuity planning does not have to be complex, is the whole positioning.

That aim addresses a genuine gap. Business continuity software is overwhelmingly built for large regulated enterprises, priced accordingly and configured over months by dedicated resilience teams. A mid-sized manufacturer, a regional professional services firm or a growing healthcare provider has the same exposure to a fire, a cyber incident or a supplier failure, and no realistic route into the category. They end up with a document written once, filed, and never tested.

The suite is presented as one package rather than a modular platform, described as everything you need and nothing you do not. Preparis Alerts handles notification, Preparis Planner handles continuity plan development, Preparis Incident Manager handles response, and Preparis IT Disaster Recovery covers technology recovery. RecoveryPlanner is published alongside.

Bundling rather than modularising is the right decision for this buyer. A company without a resilience team cannot evaluate which modules it needs, and a packaging model that requires that judgement pushes them back toward doing nothing.

The resource library is unusually practical and worth using regardless of purchase: guides, checklists, tabletop exercises, success stories, webinars, a business continuity glossary and statistics research. Published tabletop exercises are the most valuable of those, since running one is the single most effective continuity activity available to a small organisation and the hardest to design from scratch.

Industries served include financial services, government, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing and professional services. A free demo is offered and pricing is not published.
