Maybe its a company youre calling for the first time what chance of you calling them again?The most frustrating point of all is that this doesnt have to be the case. There is no excuse for any company to suffer prolonged system downtime. Take Email for example, the world seems to revolve around it, what if you cant send or receive message for 2 days? (Try turning email off and see what effect it has!).System failure is one thing, imagine if your business was unlucky enough to suffer some serious kind of office disaster or site outage, whether that be fire, flood or theft.

The Business Impact Analysis helps define what systems and processes are really key to the organisation and their priority to the business. Once this information has been agreed by the decision makers a plan can be written that puts in place an effective recovery plan to deal with everything from crisis communication to how you recover systems and data. There are many different solutions when it comes to looking after the lifeblood of your business your data, from simple tape backup, online tape backup or using real time replication tools like Double Take Software.Once the plan is written, you can work with an established and, preferably, independent Business Continuity provider and look at the solutions available that can provide the type and level of resilience you need.
