Although the terms are often used interchangeably, "business continuity planning" and "disaster recovery planning" are distinct but overlapping disciplines. Business continuity planning takes an all-encompassing view of a business to determine what personnel, physical resources, and processes are needed to sustain business operations at a minimally acceptable level after a catastrophe and how to restore normal operations promptly. Business continuity planning requires a broad perspective and obviously accounts for IT issues, which are crucial for all businesses, but also looks at areas outside computing. Will your business require temporary office space? Substitute vehicles? Alternate vendors? Replacement staff? Do you have a tested emergency notification system in place to alert workers and other stakeholders? Are you mandated submit regulatory reports or contact your insurers? Do you need access to emergency funding? Progent can provide the services of senior consultants who can help you follow leading practices to create and document a business continuity plan that deals with these vital issues and provides a cohesive game plan to follow in case of a disaster.
