Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery Services for Houston Companies

Business continuity is a term used to describe a contingency plan that will enable a business to remain operational during a disaster. The plan should include a range of prevention and recovery steps to minimize the damage caused by a disaster. A well designed plan will let employees know how to respond to disruption. Every company that uses technology needs to have a business continuity plan documented and easily accessible.

The absence of a business continuity plan means rolling the dice on the future of your company and risking closing the doors of your business. Risk factors include theft, sabotages, fire, equipment malfunctions and cyber-attacks. Companies that do not have a tested business continuity plan can be impacted by the following:

• Financial loss
• Network outages
• Data breaches
• Disrupted productivity
• Diminished company reputation

All these risks could cause your company to have to a limited or extended shut down. Considering these risk factors in advance allows you to implement measures to address them.

A good business continuity plan requires in depth research into potential threats and latest technologies solutions. After a technology solution is selected, the time required for implementation, testing, and maintaining a business continuity solution is also significant. Developing the skill set and managing the solution in-house can get expensive. Outsourcing business continuity allows a company to save time and money by taking advantage of proven time tested solutions.
