Planning for Continuity

Data and communication centers are the heart of most companies today. When either key asset is compromised—whether by hardware failure, software failure, data corruption, or data loss—a company may face potentially severe losses unless a robust contingency plan is in place.

An enterprise-wide contingency plan can provide many benefits. Perhaps the most important, direct, and measurable benefit of such a strategy is that it will minimize financial losses in the face of disaster. Having a solid, well-tested plan will help restore IT and telecommunications infrastructures quickly, and minimize interruptions for personnel, suppliers, vendors, partners, investors, and customers. Fast restoration will strengthen the company’s reputation and professional standing in the business community.
