How does WorkSpace Manager fit into Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning?
Terrorist attacks and natural disasters are highly disruptive; without a plan for recovery they have the potential to become exponentially worse. Think back to the summer of 2005, in the days after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Miles of commercial and residential areas were submerged along the Gulf of Mexico coast. Entire offices were closed, refineries shut down, and work forces were evacuated for days, weeks and months. Even for those who were out of the direct path of the flooding, many companies, due to safety regulations, had to leave their commercial office space due to a lack of infrastructure – there was no 911 service, no clean water, and only sporadic electricity. Numerous oil and gas companies had to move offices full of professional workers immediately or risk being out of alignment with their core values of workplace safety (and out of compliance with OSHA regulations). Moving their office workers took days – once they rounded up the employees and had an accurate head count
