Out of Chaos Comes Opportunity –
Technology innovation and wealth creation out of crisis, disaster recovery, and reconstruction


Managing your business risk can mark the difference between your moving ahead of your competition and failure. Your readiness to respond can determine whether your business succeeds or fails. Business Continuity, Risk Management and Resiliency – with customers in Finance, Information Technology, Management Consulting and Government is not just a big market, it is also a great opportunity to help customers become agile and resilient in a time of uncertainty. 

If you are an entrepreneur building your business in Continuity and Risk Management or a business looking for effective strategies, getting first hand insights from leaders in the field is invaluable. Companies specializing in Business Resiliency such as SunGard earned $5.1 billion in revenues for 2011 and Iron Mountain earned $3.1 Billion in 2010. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery represented between 6 and 7% of IT budgets for small medium and enterprise organizations in 2011. 

In the February 21st EntreTech Forum, our panel of industry leaders, startups and entrepreneurs will discuss building businesses in business continuity, resiliency and risk management. We will review the growing market, the technology, earning potential, and the opportunities for entrepreneurs. Whether you’re a startup in risk management and continuity, looking for tips to protect your business or interested in the technology, please join us for this informative and interactive discussion.
