What We Do: Business Continuance

Planning for disasters before they happen is critical to ensuring the continuity of mission-critical business applications regardless of future misfortunes. Software Expressions recommends establishing a comprehensive system with a fully redundant procedure that backs up all data to a CD, a tape, and another hard drive on the network. In addition to the physical action of backing up the company's data, a comprehensive plan should be created to guide storage of data (both on- and off-site) and to ensure that backups are both secure and available.

According to Hewlett-Packard, "It might be measured in thousands, or millions of dollars per hour, but the bottom line is that downtime costs money. Not only can it have immediate impact on the general productivity of staff who are unable to complete everyday tasks, but it can also instantly impact profitability if sales are disrupted. And, on top of all the new realities that we face, this downtime can be caused by old nemeses, such as fire, natural disasters, power outages, viruses, hackers -- an of course the ever unavoidable -- human error." Business continuity services provide effective strategies and plans for the continuity or recovery of key IT-enabled business processes, thereby minimizing the impact an outage or disaster could have on your business.
