Business Continuity
What would the financial loss be to your company for every hour you were unable to function?
You’d be surprised how often we ask these questions to businesses and how many either don’t know or don’t have any form of business continuity plan ready in place.
It doesn’t matter what size of business you have, from a small start-up with a handful of employees to a large SME with several hundred staff, putting the right plan in place to deal with serious IT breakdowns is vital. With our wide range of technologies, we can ensure that your systems can continue operating through a disaster, and return to normal as quickly as possible.
Disruptions to your IT can come in many forms, such as physical threats, e.g. flood and fire, but also from system threats e.g. viruses, and malicious hacking of your systems. With IT now firmly fixed as the core function of the everyday running of a business, no matter what the industry, any IT downtime can be a very costly and potentially damaging.
Business continuity planning enables you to quickly react to any such disruptions, enabling you to get your company’s critical operations back up and running as quickly and smoothly as possible, allowing your business to recover quicker.
In some industries it is actually a legal requirement to have a disaster recovery plan in place, so you might want to check with your insurers.
As every business is different, so too is its business continuity plan, which is why at Cygnit we start with a free no obligation consultation, to really understand how your company functions from all levels and not just the IT. Once we have reviewed this with you, we can then suggest a plan you can put in place to keep your business running, should the worst ever happen.
