Summary

• The DPCF has gotten off to a great start since
  being announced only 12 months ago. Our members
  possess a vast resource of knowledge and
  experience in the communications and business
  continuity fields. A key factor to our success
  will be whether we can share our knowledge in a
  style comprehensible by people that are novices
  in this area. This is the proverbial ball we
  must keep our eye upon.

19
Summary

• The primary goal is to educate enterprises and
  small government entities that continuity
  planning is critical. This is also our most
  difficult and crucial challenge. The development
  of check lists, product planning guides and other
  activities will be a waste of time if we cannot
  convince enterprises that not only is a business
  continuity plan achievable, it is also
  affordable.

20
Thank You All

• On behalf of TMC and the ECA, I would like to
  thank DPCF members for participating in this
  valuable initiative. Both TMC and the ECA are
  looking forward to working with the DPCF team to
  provide the enterprise community with the tools
  to effectively implement a business continuity
  plan.
