Case Study: Point Park University strengthens business continuity and knowledge management with Kuali Ready

Point Park University manages 39 continuity plans with Kuali Ready

Point Park University, a small private institution, faced a significant gap in its business continuity planning following an internal audit. The university's CIO, Tim Wilson, identified the need for a robust plan to complement its existing disaster recovery and emergency response strategies. The challenge was to find a continuity solution specifically designed for the unique framework and scale of higher education.

The university partnered with Kuali Ready, a tool built for higher education. The solution provided a platform that seamlessly integrated continuity planning into regular business processes, also serving as a knowledge management system. As a result, Point Park University now maintains 39 active continuity plans managed by 48 staff members. Kuali Ready ensured the institution was prepared for disruptions, obtaining crucial staff buy-in and creating a centralized repository for critical operational knowledge that keeps plans up-to-date.
