Crisis Recovery Planning in the UK
Why do I need to think about Disaster Recovery (DR) ? It is not just for large organisations. Leading analysts have hard facts showing that two out of five businesses, of all sizes, which experience a business disaster go out of business within five years of the event. In other words, not all that many companies who face disaster recover from it.
Many companies believe they have no need for disaster recovery planning, because business catastrophic events are a once in a lifetime incident. In fact, these incidents are very common, making disaster recovery contingency planning a key aspect of a proactive company's business planning. Thankfully, some severe catastrophic events such as weather-related, fires, power interruptions and sabotage are fairly exceptional, but the most successful companies, small or large, prepare themselves for all potential eventualities by developing disaster recovery plans.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Solutions
Consequences of not having a disaster recovery strategy include loss of business or customers, loss of credibility and goodwill, cash flow problems (including an inability to pay staff) and loss of production and operational data.
Many businesses without an IT data disaster recovery template that lose computer information are forced to shut down within 2 years. 50% of businesses experiencing a computer outage will be forced to shut within 5 years.
