Until recently, disaster recovery plans focused on restoring infrastructures (data centers). While infrastructure recovery remains important, focusing on infrastructure alone falls short.

We focus on three critical elements:

• Processes – what are the key business processes?
• Applications – which applications support these processes?
• Infrastructure – what infrastructure is needed to ensure continuity?

A thorough assessment and understanding of business processes as they relate to applications is a crucial first step. We work closely with you to complete this step, as well as identify all linkages and dependencies in order to develop a corresponding recovery sequence plan. This holistic approach is foundational to ensuring continuous operations, competitive advantage, and risk mitigation.

Our Approach:

• Situation analysis and requirements definition
• Statement of work (outline of the project, expectations, roles and responsibilities, and deliverables)
• Qualitative and quantitative information gathering (processes, applications, infrastructure, resources)
• Data review and analysis
• Development of findings, recommendations, and deliverables
• IT-focused data continuity briefing with business and IT stakeholders

Benefits:

• Mitigate risk at multiple levels (business, individual, staff) by ensuring continual data access for priority business functions (production, transaction processing, etc.)
• Minimize downtime and losses
• Improve business continuity capabilities and performance
• Minimize associated costs following an incident
• Ensure regulatory compliance
• Build a foundation for IT-related decision making and investments
• Align business processes and information systems
