Top-ranked Financial Advisory and Investment Banking Firm Chooses Shadow-Planner to Ensure Business Continuity Consistency and Maintainability
New York, NY - April 23, 2008- Office-Shadow, the premier business continuity solutions company, today announced that it has added First Southwest Company in Dallas, Texas to its growing roster of financial services clients. First Southwest joins the largest banks in Italy, Spain, the UK, Switzerland, Germany and France as well as major financial services firms in the US in using the Shadow-Planner suite for business continuity automation.
First Southwest Company is the top-ranked regulated public financial advisor in the United States and has provided innovative solutions for over 61 years. Headquartered in Dallas, the firm has 22 offices throughout the United States providing financial advisory services, underwriting, asset management, arbitrage rebate, continuing disclosure, and benefit plan services to local governments and public agencies. The firm also provides advisory services to corporations, financial institutions, nonprofit entities and high-net-worth investors. Shadow-Planner is an integrated suite of business continuity, risk assessment, business impact analysis and compliance modules that work together or separately to ensure consistency, maintainability and availability. Provided as either a managed service or a locally-hosted system, Shadow-Planner helps organizations achieve business resiliency. The suite is especially valuable to organizations in which many different people are responsible for performing tasks related to business continuity on an infrequent basis. Shadow-Planner not only reminds the individual of the task, but also reminds the administrator so that plan updates will not slip through the cracks.
Hyde adds. “Before we had even decided to purchase the solution, Office-Shadow went the extra mile and set up a simulated corporation, complete with data, so that we could experience the product hands-on. That helped us feel comfortable with the suite, since we were able to simulate a crisis and see what it would be like to manage through it with Shadow-Planner. That tells a lot about the company and its commitment to its customers.” About Office-Shadow Established in 2001, Office-Shadow is one of the world’s leaders in business continuity management software and solutions with specialization in standards-based implementations and in the financial services market. The Company’s technical expertise is tempered with commercial experience drawn from both the public and private sectors.

Winner of the 2003 International Business Continuity Award for most innovative new product, and with a burgeoning base of blue chip organizations, Office-Shadow is well on its way to becoming a global leader in the delivery of business continuity solutions.
