DR & BCP

Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity Planning (BCP) are massive areas, which can mean stress and worry to many organisations.

How do you keep your systems and company running in or after a disaster situation?

Here are a few UK-based statistics to sharpen the mind:

• 90% of businesses that lose data from a disaster are forced to shut within two years of the disaster.
• 80% of businesses without a well-structured recovery plan are forced to shut within 12 months of a flood or fire.
• 43% of companies experiencing disasters never recover.

Of course the above are headline figures but through an understanding of the scenarios and impacts we do not doubt them to be true.

In today’s world, IT runs the business and it’s critical to that business’s success. However, BCP and DR are not just about making sure your IT infrastructure is always available.

There are so many factors involved, including people, systems, technologies, suppliers and other third parties. They must all be considered and plans put in place to ensure that your business can function adequately or normally whatever the disaster.
