Case Study A$-5$: Alpha Investment Services $($AIS$)$ develops Strategies

Based on the Information Technology and Revised Recovery Time Objectives and other Case information

previously provided in Case Study A$,$ consider the following:

A$-5\mathrm{.}1$ For AIS business operations, how important are building systems, building contents, IT services, utility

services and access to Grand Office Park?

A$-5\mathrm{.}2$ Which strategies are likely to be most effective for AIS?

A$-5\mathrm{.}3$ Identify the additional resources and procedures that are needed for AIS to achieve the Revised Recovery

Time Objectives.

A$-5\mathrm{.}4$ AIS management is considering moving the business to Southern California. There would be only one

office building for all operations. The building is to be of modern design and construction. Although not

located directly above a fault line, earthquakes are a very serious concern. Essentially the flood, tornado

and severe winter storm risks have been replaced with the earthquake risk; all other significant risks are

essentially the same. How would this change the strategies?
