If you’re looking into the future of your company (and of course you are) you may envision it expanding by leaps and bounds. As your business advances, it’s essential to ensure you’re prepared for any unanticipated changes in your environment.
Sadly, many companies are finding themselves ill-prepared for the unexpected. According to an IDG Research study nearly 40% of organizations rated their ability to recover operations in the event of a disaster as “fair to poor,” and while 50% had a formal disaster recovery plan in place, 36% said their plan only covers back-end infrastructure, leaving their desktops and remote offices vulnerable to attack.
Being prepared means avoiding inevitable costly downtime. When your company isn’t running, it means your employees aren’t performing, your customers are waiting, and your bottom-line is suffering. The average cost of downtime is $7,900/minute,* which means you can risk everything you’ve built up from one extended period of operational failure – and business interruptions do happen whether its human error, cyber-crime or a natural disaster – so it’s imperative your business is ready.
Ensure your business is safe and secure.
