TAMP Systems, a pioneer and world leader in the field of business continuity, disaster recovery and pandemic planning has announced that it has opened a new sales office in the Atlanta area to address the growing demand for its products and services in the Southeast U.S. and Latin America.

With the opening of the new office, Kal Ayyar has assumed the position of regional manager for TAMP Systems in Atlanta.

"Frequent hurricanes, tornadoes and the recent pandemic flu outbreak have highlighted the need for disaster recovery and business continuity planning for business of all sizes, especially across the Southeast U.S.," said Tom Abruzzo, president and CEO of TAMP Systems.

"The Avian H5N1, Swine H1N1 and other flu viruses are of great concern to public health professionals," Abruzzo said. "The continued spread of highly pathogenic Avian virus across Eastern Asia and other countries is of significant threat to human health. We have developed the full range of expertise to deal with the threat posed by a workforce interruption or pandemic outbreak".


The following are some of the salient information that TAMP consultants identify and include in the pandemic plans that it offers via its software and services:

  • Employees who are cross-trained in various disciplines
  • Alternative workforce, e.g., retired employees, etc.
  • Key-employee succession plans
  • Work-at-home plans
  • Supply chain interruption strategies
  • Proper hygiene practices
  • HR policies and procedures

“We have developed a unique and cost-effective methodology, which includes a five-step action plan for pandemic incident response planning," said Bill Pepino, vice president, TAMP.

The action plan includes:

  • Phase 1: Plan development stage ("Plan for it")
  • Phase 2: Monitoring stage ("Keep an eye on it")
  • Phase 3: Pre-Pandemic Preparation Stage ("React to it")
  • Phase 4: Pandemic stage ("Manage it")
