Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

How would a disruption to your IT services impact your business? Would you lose data, revenue or customers?

The more technology advances, the more our dependency on networks, applications and data availability increases. Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) planning is a vital component of any IT strategy, yet it is often the most overlooked and always seems to be pushed to the bottom of the priority list.

All BC/DR plans need to encompass how employees will communicate, where they will go, how they will keep doing their jobs and how the business will continue to operate. The IT aspect of this is one of the most fundamental ingredients as at its heart, BC/DR is about constant communication.

Perhaps the greatest misconception is that BC/DR implementations are necessarily costly and unwieldy projects. Historically this was largely true, but with new and emerging technology the fact is that these solutions are more cost effective than they use to be. Perhaps the greatest bonus is that BC/DR solutions can even provide immediate benefits through improvements in infrastructure performance, utilisation, efficiency and productivity.

The difficulty with contingency strategies is deciding where to draw the line between too much investment and not enough, to provide adequate protection. Our team will help to define your business continuity objectives, then plan and implement the appropriate disaster recovery solution for your organisation.

By providing a systematic approach to developing, testing and maintaining a comprehensive business continuity plan, Oriel can offer our customers maximum protection against disaster.
