Business Continuity Service

Reasons why Business Continuity is becoming the must have service from Concise IT.

A recent survey by Aveco revealed the frightening statistic that 43% of organisations who experience a flood or fire will never reopen, and of the remainder 80% will fail within 13 months of the event.

Statutory regulations, such as those governing companies regulated by the FSA are now starting to place demands on businesses to ensure that they can continue to function and meet regulatory obligations in the event of an unforeseen interruption.

Traditionally Disaster Recovery (DR) has been the start and finish of organisational strategy for dealing with an unplanned event. This would ensure that IT systems and data can be restored after unscheduled downtime.

But over the last few years the growth of Business Continuity has meant a shift in focus to the prevention of such events, rather than the cure of DR.

Business Continuity Management (BCM) covers the whole lifecycle of disaster prevention and recovery. It embraces the entire organisation and provides a planned and controlled method of anticipating and responding to events that are likely to interrupt key business activities.

To cater for the huge demands for a Business Continuity Service, Concise IT has invested in a dedicated 12-seat Business Continuity Suite for small to medium sized companies, that also compliments our Disaster Recovery (DR) Service.

The Business Continuity Suite is based at our new offices at Gadbrook Park, Northwich, which has great links to the A556 and M6, just 10 minutes from Chester and 20 minutes from Manchester and Liverpool.
