Business Continuity
Disaster Recovery Planning
Business owners know that they need make provision for business recovery after an emergency or disaster of some sort. The need is there like a low grade toothache - ignored, but not forgotten for long!
The question is resources - time and money - versus the level of risk. EBS can help with the resources issue. We feel that the key is to attack business recovery planning in phases. First answering key questions about recovery requirements and then planning, implementing and testing the key IT systems recovery
processes. [See technology elements below]
Of course business continuity and disaster recovery planning involves much more than recovery of email and key applications. Everything from needed forms, phone lists, contacts information and software CDs should be considered. We recommend making a start, getting the key issues addressed and continuing work on a comprehensive plan as needed. EBS can help with all facets of business continuity and disaster recovery planning.
"Good disaster recovery planning is about identifying those processes and resources that are truly critical, developing realistic recovery objectives for them, and then developing a plan that can achieve those objectives as simply and cost-effectively as possible." From white paper on "Practical Disaster Recovery Planning"
