Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity

Disaster recovery (also called business recovery) is a topic being discussed by many companies today. Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes have always been on the minds of business leaders for many years. This is because these are the things that come to mind when you think of disasters. Even if you live in an area that is not prone to the natural disasters that occur frequently, recent events have forced many to realize that there are other situations that can bring businesses to an abrupt stop without any warning. How ready are you for these unanticipated events?

Disaster Recovery

Specifically, disaster recovery is the restoration of computing and telecommunications services after an event has disrupted those services. The event might be something huge such as a natural disaster such as flooding / fire or something comparatively small, like malfunctioning software caused by a computer virus or theft or the actions of a disgruntled employee.

ameWare's consultants can help your business prepare a Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Plan, tailored to your most critical business and technology functions.

Business Continuity

 Business continuity planning (also called contingency planning) determines how a company will keep functioning until its normal facilities are restored after a disruptive event. This encompasses how critical data and files are stored, how employees will be contacted, where they will go and how they will keep performing their critical job functions. ameWare's consultants can help you prepare a business continuity plan, before a disaster occurs. Developing a plan before and event occurs will give you the piece of mind in knowing that if disaster strikes, you will be prepared to continue to serve your customers.

How To Get Started

The first step is for ameware to conduct a Business Impact Analysis (BIA). This will identify your business’s most crucial resources and the effect an outage would have on your business. The greater the potential impact, the more planning a company should do to restore resources quickly. Your customized BIA will also help your business establish a restoration sequence to determine which parts of the business should be restored first.
