LONDON, May 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Xchanging (XCH:LSE), the business process and technology services provider and integrator has won the 2012 StrategicRISK Best Business Continuity Approach of the Year.  The Award recognises firms that "initiated or implemented a well thought-out new business continuity approach in 2011 that reflected current challenges."  Xchanging was selected as winner after being placed on a shortlist of five companies.    

Nigel Knight, Head of Business Continuity Planning at Xchanging said, "Over the past twelve months we have worked tremendously hard to overhaul our business continuity planning.  We are thrilled that our efforts have been so recognised by the European Risk Management Awards."

Throughout 2011, Xchanging's Insurance Risk Management and Business Continuity teams undertook a major strategic review with senior stakeholders internally and externally and formulated associated plans in order to demonstrate Xchanging's ability to continue to provide services in the event of a financial crisis.  The resulting new plans were externally tested by KPMG in line with BS25999 standards.

In further recognition of its high quality business continuity planning, in 2011 Xchanging became the first insurance service provider to qualify for a certification to the management system standard, BS25999 by the British Standards Institution. Highlighting Xchanging's excellence in Business Continuity, Lorna Anderson, EMEA Business Continuity Expert at BSI said: "Business continuity is not a one-off activity. It needs to evolve with the organisation. The key to this is thinking about what may happen and taking appropriate steps as demonstrated by Xchanging. A further endorsement to XIS's commitment is having it independently assessed by BSI."
