Get to Know Preparis

Those of you who have known us for years may be asking yourselves, “Wasn’t it always Preparis?” 

That’s the fun part. We’re returning to our roots as a software company, referring to our software tools as Preparis, your one-stop shop for business continuity software solutions. 

Our mission with Preparis is simple: To bring continuity planning within reach for everyday businesses by delivering solutions that are easy to use, affordable to access, and as practical as they are powerful. This journey began nearly four years ago when we acquired Preparis, Inc., an emergency notification platform. Since then, we have bottled up our 30+ years of industry knowledge to build and acquire software applications with one north star vision in mind:  

Making continuity simple and achievable.  

Along the way, we expanded our toolset to include the industry’s premier continuity planning tool, Preparis Planner, and added Preparis Incident Manager, a streamlined way to exercise and manage incidents in real time. 

In addition to the Preparis acquisition in 2019, we’ve made other software acquisitions over the years to round out our end-to-end business continuity suite: 

• BOLDplanning, acquired in September 2021, gave Agility the ability to address essential public sector markets such as government, health care, and education. 

• RecoveryPlanner, acquired in January 2021, added renowned tools for business continuity planning, incident management, and integrated risk management to the Agility portfolio, ideal for larger companies with more complex BC planning needs. 

Business continuity planning should not be elusive or complicated. Move confidently forward with one central, self-guided solution. Continuity, made simple. 

What’s changing? 

You’ll see new branding, colors, and naming conventions. Our products and their functionalities remain the same; you should not see any difference in how you use our services. Our full Preparis software suite includes: 

• Preparis Alerts – emergency notifications and alerting   

• Preparis Planner – simple BC planning tool (described in more detail above)   

• Preparis Incident Manager – a purpose-built solution and add-on to Planner to power a rapid, coordinated incident response and exercise business continuity plans   

• RecoveryPlanner (RPX), powered by Preparis – business continuity management tool, ideal for more complex BC programs   

• BOLDplanning, powered by Preparis – software and consulting services for emergency operations planning, continuity of operations planning, business continuity planning, and hazard mitigation 

What about Agility? 

Preparis is part of Agility, and Agility Recovery is our recovery services business. Our recovery services include access to services like backup power, data, workspace recovery, and more. Agility Recovery services and Preparis software will continue working hand in hand to meet customer needs. 

Thank you for joining us on this journey. We look forward to continuing to provide you with business continuity and resilience solutions in 2023 and beyond. 

Sincerely,

Jon Bahl 
CEO, Agility Recovery
