Companies today must provide uninterrupted availability of business applications and IT infrastructures. Customer expectations for 24x7 access to services, changing regulatory requirements and new technologies mean that business continuity is increasingly important. Furthermore, economic changes, natural disasters, governmental regulations and other outside issues are a constant pressure.
Any comprehensive approach to business continuity and resiliency is going to include both proactive and reactive components. If you plan well, you can deliver day-to-day value to the organization in terms of improved efficiency, higher service levels, increased satisfaction and greater alignment with regulations. That’s on top of designing and testing a comprehensive plan for responding to a disaster.
