About The Project
Chiron collaborated with Sungards to address a critical challenge faced by CVS's Disaster Recovery team: the need for a robust solution to streamline their annual disaster recovery process and track results effectively.
-
Problem
Relying on manual email communication and a sprawling Excel file shared among numerous stakeholders, the process lacked efficiency and visibility.
The CVS Disaster Recovery team encountered significant difficulties in their annual process of tracking disaster recovery exercises and results. The decentralized nature of the system made it challenging to consolidate and track results accurately, hindering effective disaster recovery management.
-
Solution
The solution improved efficiency, enhanced visibility, and facilitated effective disaster recovery management for CVS.
To address the challenges faced by the CVS Disaster Recovery team, Chiron’s team implemented a dedicated SharePoint online site as a centralized solution. A custom SPFX application was developed to streamline and automate the annual exercise process and results tracking. With the new system, team members could initiate exercises, track application ownership, receive automated notifications, capture test results, and view comprehensive status dashboards.
-
Technical Implementation
Integration with Exchange and third-party applications was achieved using REST APIs.
- SharePoint Online was used as the platform to host the application.
- Data was stored and managed in SharePoint lists and libraries.
- Automation was implemented using Microsoft Power Automate Flows and custom JavaScript code.
- The application’s front end was developed using Reac
