Business Continuity

…..Should a disaster strike
Simply replicate and restore your critical IT Systems

Without a solid plan, an unforeseen event could be too big a blow for you to recover from. At the very minimum you will lose revenue or trade, but the worst case scenario will see you losing your business due to having  nowhere to conduct business from and no systems from which to do it.  All vital information gone, including critical records, and if the system is not in real time when your data is restored, the information could well be out of date.

For any business, the key drivers behind setting up a watertight Business Continuity Plannings/Disaster Recovery programme are:

• Risk Mitigation: A plan will minimise the risks and the damage.
• Relocation: For the business to remain operational, an alternative premises to host systems safely is a must.
• Temporary offices to accommodate staff.
• Maintenance: To ensure disaster recovery systems are always available and to enable the migration of data between sites.
• Insurance requirement: Insurers need to know that in the event of a disaster, the business can keep functioning and that you have a tested, working plan in place.
• Testing: Without regular, full Business Continuity Plannings/Disaster Recovery testing, there is a high risk that your plan could let you down when you need it most.
