Green Oak Solutions was founded in 2003 on the principle that Business Continuity Planning should be a straightforward, operations-based process, to be viewed over a wide range of exposures at the Enterprise Level. Our primary focus is to provide services to the Manufacturing sector.

Our view is that the process has to involve all stakeholders in the Corporation from the development of the process through its implementation and completion. Many of our competitors focus on a single issue such as Information Technology recovery and we believe a silo based approach to planning is ineffective.

Green Oak Solutions approach is focused on results. Our experience allows us to quickly grasp the key issues of risk mitigation or Business Continuity Planning that drives a particular business concern with their exposures.

While we maintain and utilize our proprietary Business Continuity Planning software to develop plans or enable planning for our clients, we do not sell software or represent any type of service provider. This allows us to approach our clients with a pure process that is not influenced by a desire too "up sell" things like expensive specialized software.

Green Oak Solutions maintains strategic partnership relationships with several compatible firms who can form a scalable network. This allows us to serve any size companies Business Continuity Planning or Property Risk Control Consulting needs both domestically and internationally.
