MUSCAT -- Bank Muscat, the flagship financial services provider in the Sultanate, has received yet another endorsement for its business continuity plan (BCP) programmes as Maan Said al Saqlawi, Head -- BCP, received the BCI Middle East Award in the Newcomer of the Year category. The award was in recognition of his contributions in business continuity management as a newcomer in the BCM industry.
The award endorsed the bank's efforts in grooming young Omanis in their fields by providing advanced training and guidance for skill development. Al Saqlawi has also been shortlisted for the BCI Global Awards in the Best Newcomer of the Year category.
The annual BCI Middle East Awards recognise the outstanding contributions of business continuity professionals and organisations in the Middle East region. In 2012, Bank Muscat won the BCI Best Performing Business Continuity Plan awards at the regional and global levels.
As the nation's leading bank, Bank Muscat aims to set a benchmark in Business Continuity Plan (BCP). The bank's BCP is a set of reliable contingency plans and activities, which protects the business and ensures continuity of service to customers in all circumstances. Bank Muscat has invested significantly to protect itself from any eventualities that could disrupt business and service to customers comprising the largest banking family in Oman.
The BCP looks at ways and means to equip the bank to deal with a variety of crises that may come its way, providing the right set of tools and response mechanisms, as also identifying key procedures that will help protect the organisation and people during a crisis. The bank understands that forward planning is the key to success in recovering from a crisis.
The bank has a unique IT disaster recovery capability. In case of any unforeseen circumstances when the production data centre is down, the bank has the capability to serve all customers from the disaster recovery site. This facility is the first-of-its-kind in Oman and the region.
Bank Muscat recognises that business continuity planning is of paramount significance in today's business scenario and is crucial to managing institutional and systemic risks. The bank's BCP process is subjected to continuous review and upgrading to keep pace with the dynamic and ever changing business environment that the bank operates in.
