Duration 60 minutes
Description
The need for all firms to have an effective business continuity
strategy has been highlighted by the recent terrorist bomb attacks
and the Buncefield disaster. However the business interruption
caused by everyday threats such as an unplanned power outage, or a
server failure, could be just as significant.
In the event of an incident – be it natural or man made, common
place or inconceivable - contingency planning is a must. In a
recent example a company without a business continuity plan lost
its ability to trade when it suffered the loss of a huge amount of
its business critical data.
For small- to medium-sized business (SMBs) who do not have the
resources of larger enterprises, the ramifications of not being
prepared for a ‘lights going out’ event could be business
threatening. In addition to understanding the strategic and
technological issues associated with business continuity, IT
managers at SMBs also need to know how to justify why their company
needs to make a business critical investment.
This webinar will aim to highlight the key issues related to
business continuity for SMBs. It will highlight:
- The best practices involved with business continuity strategy
and planning
- Personnel and responsibility lines for setting up a business
continuity strategy
- The practical issues associated with the deployment of a
business continuity solution
- The typical costs and how to determine and then justify
budget
- The case for a business continuity strategy as a managed
service
Format:
5 minute introduction followed by three 10-minute presentations
plus a 25/30- minute moderated Q&A session. Interactive polling
of the audience will be carried out throughout the event.
