Herndon VA, September 27 , 2006
- - COOP Systems today announced that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida (BCBSF) has implemented myCOOP™ Version 5.3 software, an ASP-delivered Business Continuity Planning (BCP) package, a leading new solution supporting distributed and global BCP programs. The full life cycle of the Professional Practices is delivered securely over the Internet with a powerful, integrated package.
“We are enjoying the chance to work with BCBSF, one of the largest BCBS companies in the United States and with double the market share of any other health care provider in Florida. They are also obviously in a very high risk part of the country. After conducting a thorough and professional evaluation of all the BCP packages in the market, we were selected,” said Chris Alvord, CEO of COOP Systems. “Now one of our largest customers and a leader in the health care sector, we were impressed with their selection process and smooth implementation.”
