Developing an Effective Disaster & Recovery Plan

Summary:

A Disaster Recovery Plan, or more commonly known as a Business Contingency Plan, is becoming an integral part of company operations. The unpredictable calamities combined with the advent of complex information and communication technology creates a higher risk that even minor problems could disrupt the entire performance of the business.

Presently, there are many companies that are unprepared and at risk should a calamity occur. Companies must focus on prevention rather than waiting for disaster to happen as it costs far less in terms of capital and goodwill to prevent a disaster rather than cleaning up after it. Recovery plans will vary considerably from one business to another. Our panel of experts and thought leaders will help you to develop efficient and cost effective approaches to disaster recovery.

Key topics covered:
- Evaluating risk factors
- Determining the budget
- Key considerations in drafting contingency measures
- Development of the plan
- Training of personnel
- Testing of equipment
- Implementation
- Maintenance
