Ascent Business Gets Recognition by Gartner in Business Continuity Management Program solutions

Ascent Business, a Singapore-headquartered SaaS, AI, and ML-driven company offering fintech solutions, has been recognized by the leading global research and advisory organization Gartner in their recent report Gartner Market Guide for Business Continuity Management (BCM) Program Solutions 2021. Ascent AutoBCM (Automated Business Continuity Management) solution is named as one of 6 representative vendor solutions in the report.

Gartner defines the Business Continuity Management Program Solutions (BCMP) market as the group of vendors offering licensed software that provide tools for business continuity planning, incident management, and integrated risk management. The BCMP solutions provide capabilities for availability risk assessment, business impact analysis (BIA), business process and resource/asset dependency mapping, recovery plan management, exercise and crisis management, and BCMP management metrics and analysis. As COVID-19 has caused many organizations to realize that their recovery plans are insufficient, BCMP emphasizes organizations to integrate their business continuity management programs into wider resilience management to ensure that they align with their strategic objectives and provide a joined-up response to a major disruption.

With a deep understanding of the global economy and markets, Ascent ensures that the clients stay ahead of the seismic changes brought by the rapid development of cutting-edge fintech. The company enables this through a host of different innovations, leveraging its machine learning and AI expertise.
