IT systems are vital to the day to day running of operations in almost all organisations. If your systems fail it can range from inconvenient and inefficent to a complete disaster.
Increasingly organisations have compliance requirements that call for a formal disaster recovery strategy.
Pre planning and preparation can be the difference between a business suffering an inconvenience or a business failing because of an inability to operate. Planning means there is no such thing as an "unforseen" problem.
Elements of a business continuity and disaster recovery plan should include:
- Detailed Assessment of Risk
- Organisational and Technical Priorities
- Mitigation Strategy
- Offsite data storage
- Rapid data retrieval
- Full system restoration
- Regular "Fire Drills" and resulting feedback
We work with our clients to design, build and maintain effective business continuity and disaster recovery solutions.
