Disaster recovery plans are on every CIO's list of priorities. But what about trying to prevent disasters from occurring in the first place?
At Swiss Re, developing fire loss prevention strategies for a company's business operations is an important component of its Global Asset Protection Services (GAPS), which specializes in property loss prevention services and consulting. Swiss Re's goal, according to Tim Heinze, product and field operations leader for GAPS, is twofold: to help companies better identify and understand the risks at their facilities and the impact small changes in operations or packaging may have on their fire protection systems, and to conduct research on fire loss prevention issues.
The reinsurer collects and aggregates fire loss prevention data in MyAnalysis, a proprietary online report management tool that allows users to view reports and diagrams at a corporate, division, or individual facility level.
