Our Approach
In order to ensure that you can continue business operations in the event of serious interruption to essential facilities and systems, our approach focuses on the following three aspects:
(1) Keeping systems up and running
One of the most essential requirements is to ensure that your systems are kept up and running. By maintaining an off-site copy
of your systems and data and keeping these updated, you can ensure that you are prepared for continuation of operations in the
event that your primary systems and facilities become unavailable. These backup systems can be kept up and running and ready
therefore for immediate use.
(2) Access to systems
Through advances in communications technology you can arrange to have your systems and data accessible to your staff securely -
from designated locations - through a range of appropriate technologies e.g. ISDN, ADSL, VPNs, dedicated connectivity services
etc. These options provide you with added flexibility in your response to business interruption, including flexibility in relation
to location of temporary office space where necessary.
(3) Office Space
Depending on the nature of the problem encountered, temporary office space may or may not be required. Where necessary, it is
important that the space is available, suitable and convenient to staff. By suitable deployment of the available access technologies
you can develop a ‘space’ plan that is appropriate to your requirement.
