Infotech Lead India: Sanovi Technologies has introduced the Sanovi Disaster Recovery Management (DRM) solution for banks.
The new software assists banks to automate their Business Continuity and Disaster Preparedness plan and comply with the regulations and guidelines set out by the Reserve Bank of India.
Indian banks are approaching one-year deadline set by RBI’s Working Group for implementing their recommendations on Business Continuity Planning (BCP) in banks. The committee’s report covered BCP/DR standards that banks must strive for. RBI made it mandatory for banks to demonstrate their business continuity and IT DR capabilities.
