Binomial International Inc. is a private company, based in Ogdensburg, New York. It is a one of the largest vendor independent companies specializing in business continuity and disaster recovery, providing planning, consulting services, project management, seminars and plan creation and management software.

Binomial has been in the business continuity and disaster recovery planning business for over 20 years, having served hundreds of government and private sector clients and conducts both in-house and public seminars. We have also developed our own world renowned proprietary planning and plan management software (Phoenix).

The approach that we recommend for the orderly development of a business continuity and recovery plan, is based on established methodologies developed by:

• Disaster Recovery Institute, 

• Business Continuity Institute, 

• British Standards Institution’s Standard for IT Service Management (ITIL), which includes IT Service Continuity Management and

• Project Management Institute (PMI)

Our approach is to work with our clients to transfer our technology, knowledge and experience to your staff so that you will understand the processes and be able to maintain them.

It is important to note that the needs of each organization are unique. The needs of a particular organization may require modification and fine tuning of the exact execution of the planning process to suit their operating structure, budget or business priorities. We will endeavor to tailor our approach to suit your unique needs.

Our business is to help prepare you to be able to protect your business.  Through  our tailored software systems, seminars/workshops and consulting services,  we work to teach you all we possibly can.
