Managed Services - Business Continuity Planning
Over 80% of business that suffer a major disruption will go out of business within 18 months as their customers go elsewhere
Financial Times Digital Business, April 18 2008
Disasters do happen for many reasons and almost without warning. Whether it’s severe weather causing flood, direct terrorist or malicious action, or fire in or around the workplace location, some form of disaster may affect a business at some stage.
No business can weather a major disaster without incurring some financial losses; the key is how much is an organisation prepared to lose? Critical to recovering from a disaster is to have a comprehensive and robust Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in place that includes a dedicated, trusted, secure and tested workplace recovery centre. The aim is to enable core functions to continue into and beyond the immediate disaster, thereby reducing the overall impact so that an organisation does not becoming another statistic.
