The People
Saul Midler and Mike Thompson created the Revive Toolkit based on their combined experience of over 30 years in the Business Continuity Management space. Revive was created to meet the needs of their corporate clients, who found existing scenario based systems ineffective in providing comprehensive Business Continuity as well as eliminating the need to capture business and technology needs in spreadsheets or tables.
While focusing on improving the Revive methodology and software, they also maintain an interest in BC implementations in the corporate world by continuing to provide Business Continuity Consulting Services through their Consultancy company Linus ISS. Visit the Linus website.
