IT Solutions > Business Continuity Planning (BCP) & Disaster Recovery
For any organisation looking to protect itself in today's volatile world, a Business Continuity Plan is a business imperative. Whether a disaster, power outage, or simply a business systems failure, the ability to deploy plans in a timely and effective manner will directly impact company profitability. Critical functions that must be addressed are management, planning, operations, infrastructure, logistics, finance, administration and external resources.
Disaster recovery is defined as the process, policies and procedures that are in place in order for a business to maintain its IT systems and recover its data after a significant and unexpected event. Having a disaster recovery policy is a lot like having an umbrella on a sunny day with a storm approaching: you think you don't need it initially, but you'll be glad you did later on.
For many companies, their IT function consists of a variety of operating systems, database types and applications that are loosely integrated at best. Consequently, backing up can be a complicated and difficult process. Disaster recovery is therefore not just about backing up data, but about making sure that there's a unified plan in place that takes into account all of your differing systems, right down to each employee's individual machine.
At Sovereign Business Integration, we help you form a BCP including the disaster recover plan by performing a risk analysis on a variety of aspects, including where you keep copies of your core data as well as the status of your applications, hardware, communications and other IT infrastructure. We're also able perform a broader analysis where we look at other related but non-IT functions such as personnel.
We're so committed to providing reliable disaster recovery solutions to you that we even keep a generator at our offices that you can use as a back up if you need it. We've been providing robust disaster recovery solutions for our clients for over 15 years, and our experience means that with us as your data recovery partners, you'll have peace of mind if the worst does happen.
