We offer services in business continuity planning and disaster recovery planning area. Every organization that takes its information systems seriously needs contingency planning that consists of precautions taken so the effects of a disaster will be minimized and the organization will be able to either maintain or quickly resume mission-critical functions. Businesses and organizations can experience a serious incident, which can prevent them from continuing normal operations. This can happen any day at any time.
The potential causes are many and are varied: floods, explosions, computer malfunctions, accidents, and malicious acts... the list is endless. It is vital that the organization takes the development and maintenance of the disaster recovery planning seriously. It is not a task that can be left until someone finds enough time to deal with it. A serious incident can occur any time.
A disaster recovery planning (DRP) describes how an organization is to deal with potential disasters. Appropriate disaster recovery plans vary from one enterprise to another, depending on variables such as the type of business, the processes involved, and the level of security needed. As devices, systems, and networks become ever more complex, there are simply more things that can go wrong. Current enterprise systems tend to be too large and complicated for simple and hands-on approaches. In case of disaster, the interruption of service or loss of data can have serious financial impact and consequences. This is why disaster recovery planning is becoming an increasingly important aspect of enterprise computing. It is not unusual for an enterprise to spend 25% of its information technology budget on contingency planning. The disaster recovery planning is the most important element in protecting business continuity after the disaster happens. Disaster recovery plans are what you will turn to if there is indeed a disaster or other serious incident. It is therefore absolutely critical that disaster recovery plans are workable and have sufficient quality to guide you through the crisis.
An investment in information systems must realize a return just as any other investment is expected to do.
Incidents of floods, earthquakes and hurricanes are examples of disasters that can seriously compromise the availability of accounting information. Additional disasters include fire, employee sabotage, computer viruses, physical damage and theft.
