The author of several DR books and 1,000+ articles on the subject, Toigo imparts his more than 20 years of DR knowledge and experience during these informative podcast sessions.

SUMMARY: Setting up a good DR plan is not easy and can be a big drain on resources, time and money.

But, in lesson one of this DR Planning Podcast series, DR expert Jon Toigo will explain how the new realities of business make DR planning an essential element of daily process, procedure, product development and procurement.
