How BCMMetrics Brings Clarity and Control to Multi-Site Continuity Programs

Prepare For the Worst with the Best in the Business

Experience capable, consistent, and easy-to-use business continuity management software.

Managing business continuity across multiple locations isn't easy. Site-specific documentation, scattered contacts, and out-of-date BCM plans make it harder to prepare, respond, and stay compliant. When a disruption occurs, searching through folders to find the right version of a plan is the last thing anyone should do.

Imagine this: a regional manager calls during a power outage, and you can’t remember where the latest plan lives or who owns it. Now multiply that by 12 locations. Without a centralized system, your program runs on friction and hope.

That’s why BCMMetrics built BCM One, a facility management module that brings structure, visibility, and control to multi-location programs.

Why Multi-Site BC Programs Fail

Here’s where things often go off-track:

  • Ownership is siloed and undocumented.
  • Formats and standards vary from site to site.
  • HQ can’t easily verify site readiness.
  • Updates rely on email reminders and memory.
  • BCM audit prep is a scramble, not a process.

BCM One solves these issues before they show up on your risk register.

Centralize Your Facility Data, Without Spreadsheets or Shared Drives

BCM One gives organizations with multiple sites one place to manage everything tied to their locations. You can:

  • Add each facility and map it visually.
  • Assign contacts to each site.
  • Store critical docs, from floorplans to recovery procedures, in one secure place.
  • Connect locations to the plans you’ve built in BCM Planner.

Instead of searching shared drives or relying on local knowledge, you have consistent, controlled access to everything by site.

See What Matters, By Site Before It is Urgent

Most organizations track sites in spreadsheets or rely on tribal knowledge to know which location is most critical. BCM One eliminates that guesswork.

With each site, you can:

  • Assign a criticality level.
  • Link to BIAs, recovery plans, and documentation.
  • Store key contact information.
  • Add photos, layouts, and building-level details.

These features make it easy to drill down into any location and see what matters most, before you need it.

Standardize and Strengthen Your Response

BCM One also supports incident management at the facility level. You can:

  • Record incidents by site.
  • Capture incident action plans and briefing agendas.
  • Track and close out each event for post-incident review.

Whether it’s a weather event affecting a single facility or a system outage with a multi-site impact, BCM One keeps everything organized and accessible.

Built for Compliance and Security

Multi-location organizations often operate under strict regulations. BCM One supports your compliance program with:

Standard

Case Study: How One Law Firm Centralized 15 Offices After a Data Loss Incident

A leading U.S. law firm with over 15 offices had been relying on spreadsheets and Word documents to manage continuity across locations. When a key file system migration caused data loss, they realized their setup couldn’t scale or protect them from future incidents.

After adopting BCMMetrics, the firm:

  • Centralized its BIA and plan data across all offices.
  • Improved visibility into RTO variances.
  • Streamlined coordination across departments.
  • Sharpened audit readiness and internal reporting.

BCM One: One Platform to Simplify Multi-Site Oversight

BCM One is part of the BCMMetrics suite, built by continuity professionals at MHA Consulting for continuity professionals. It’s designed for organizations that need a simple and effective way to manage complexity without adding to it.

If your current setup involves scattered folders, emails, or spreadsheets, it’s time to centralize your documentation.
