Bangalore based Progeon has successfully completed the TR19:2005 business continuity management assessment by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. This is claimed to be the first independent third-party business continuity management assessment and certification of an organization against TR 19:2005 anywhere in the world.

The assessment was conducted in June and covered Progeon locations at Bangalore, Pune and Brno (in the Czech Republic).

“There is a growing realization that organizational resilience in the event of a disaster or untoward incident is an essential success factor in a competitive landscape. This is driving increased interests in the field of business continuity management”, said John Schmidt, senior vice president, Underwriters Laboratories Inc., USA. “We in UL have been impressed by Progeon’s business continuity management framework which is in line with TR19:2005 and are proud to recognize the company’s achievement. Progeon is the first company globally to be independently assessed and certified against this framework.”

TR19:2005 is a technical reference on business continuity management published by SPRING (Standards, Productivity and Innovation Board), Singapore.

K.V.Rama Mohan, head, Business Transformation Group Progeon Ltd, said “The business environment today is vulnerable to sudden changes. Certification to the TR19:2005 BCM standard is one more step in assuring our customers of our ability to deliver high-quality predictable services.”
