IT systems are very complex. Attempting to stand up an alternate processing facility in support of business continuity is not a simple undertaking. Highly detailed, step-by-step plans must be developed to ensure that nothing is missed during a recovery operation.

A detailed plan will help you to implement services in the correct order, saving you troubleshooting time you will not be able to afford.
