Are there other business benefits to disaster recovery/business continuity planning?
Good preparation is good business. Disaster recovery and business continuity are no longer just an IT issue but a business imperative. In addition to minimizing losses, reducing customer impact and preserving reputation, the added benefit of leveraging third-party hosting and management of your core applications include, for example: guaranteed uptime and redundancy, reduced hardware/software refresh costs, fixing your IT spend, leveraging operational versus capital costs, and the benefit of third-party experts to ensure your business resilience. The hard truth is that your customers in ‘unaffected’ parts of the world feel for you, but in this age of global commerce and need for 24-7 operations, the show must go on. Be prepared. Be resilient. You may not be so lucky the next time. TIM BARTO is Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, for DYONYX. Reach him at (713) 830-5910 or tim.barto@dyonyx.com.
