Improving Business Continuity
How much money do you actually lose if your people can’t access your systems? For some organisations it’s tangible, easy to measure and very painful. For others it’s less easy to work out exactly how much you lose.
What you can pretty much take for granted is that unplanned downtime will be painful and will have a negative impact of some kind.
In our experience a good place to start is by understanding your functional priorities, and the impact and the cost of losing them. Once you’ve established the cost and understand the risks you can start to plan your response in the event of an incident.
We don’t just do technology. We’ve worked with many organisations that know they need to address business continuity but don’t know where to start.
We’ve also worked with other organisations that are further down the line. They knew which systems were most critical and the financial cost, but needed some advice on the best way to tackle business continuity.
For these customers it was more a case of translating their requirements into elegant technical solutions such as:
- A UK Defence customer that wanted zero downtime. We designed a solution that made sure their systems kept going even if an entire data centre was lost.
- Pret A Manger wanted to ensure its critical store information was secure. We provided a solution that automatically backed up all their store information across the Internet.
We’ve got some of the best people in the business, people who know business continuity like the backs of their hands, so why not contact us and see what we’ve got to say?
