2900 members, 280 envelope-pushing discussions, 40 downloadable files and the numbers keep growing.  Hosted by BCM Institute, the largest business continuity (BC) disaster recovery (DR) forum online is gathering a flock of knowledge-hungry professionals from over 60 countries since its official launch in 2009.

Unlike other forums, this forum is open to even non-BCM certified individuals, professionals and boasts 5 Chapters in Kuwait, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand and India. Members include bigwigs and amateurs creating a series of lively discussions threads such as exploring the difference between exercise, testing and drilling; various tabletop exercises as well as announcements on vacant positions available.

Forum members include students who have been BCM certified, instructors and interested individuals who have eagerly volunteered their time in the forum’s Special Interest Group as well. Ms Lim, a member of the BCM Institute Forum for the past 2 years added that it also serves as a platform for her to reconnect with professionals from her class. Aside from viewing upcoming events from BCM Institute, members can also keep an eye out for upcoming courses closer to home.

“Our forum along with BCMPedia and our Meet-the-Experts (MTE) sessions, serves in my opinion, the Institute’s greater purpose of our social responsibility to the BC-DR fraternity. We are a knowledge-sharing partner and we are glad to see a   hive of activity on our forum and MTEs”, added Dr Goh.
