CLEVELAND, May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Avalution Consulting – a business continuity industry leader in consulting and software – announced today the release of Catalyst, a groundbreaking new business continuity software product.

Catalyst is web-based business continuity software that combines a simple user interface and on-screen guides with Avalution's industry-leading methodology to make continuity planning easy and repeatable for every organization, regardless of size. Features include Policy & Procedure development, Business Impact Analysis, Recovery Strategy Definition, Plan Development (Business and IT), Exercising, and General Program Management.
Catalyst brings three key capabilities never before seen in a business continuity software package:
- A focus on small and medium organizations that need a plan but don't know where to start. Catalyst is opinionated software; it will help organizations perform an impact analysis, document plans, and then keep them up to date.
- A business model that allows users to immediately try the product free for 30 days without entering payment information.
- The most cutting-edge web technology available to deliver a high performance, attractive and simple experience to users – regardless of business continuity experience.
According to Rob Giffin, Director of Technology at Avalution, the impetus for this product was Avalution's experiences with customers: "We've heard too many organizations say that they want to perform business continuity planning, but they just aren't sure where to start. They are confused by 80 page Microsoft Word templates and can't afford expensive software or consulting services. Today, we have a solution that will help them accomplish their goals in a time and cost-effective manner."
