A leading US-based real estate finance company relied on manual, spreadsheet-driven Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery (DR) processes. This created inefficiencies, slowed risk analysis, and limited audit readiness, posing compliance and operational challenges.
To address these issues, WNS-Vuram co-created an automated, audit-ready BCP system using the Appian low-code automation platform integrated with SAP Concur. The centralized digital BCP/DR platform replaced manual documentation with automated workflows, streamlined vendor risk assessments, and provided dynamic, department-specific Business Impact Analysis (BIA) insights.
The solution featured role-based access controls, Okta integration for secure authentication, and dynamic reporting and export capabilities, enabling faster, more accurate risk analysis and audit data retrieval. By digitizing and standardizing continuity planning, the enterprise achieved scalable resilience, improved compliance visibility, and faster response times in crisis scenarios.
