Contingency

A disaster to one company may be only an nuisance to another; the key difference being the planning which has gone into preparing for such a situation.

Disasters can range from complete loss of your office and computer systems (perhaps as a result of a fire) to a corrupt accounting file the day before your VAT return is due.

Perceptive Solutions can help by -

• Analyzing your computer based applications & data files.
• Implementing a strategy for backups which take account of the relative importance to the business of each application.
• Arranging secure, off-site storage of backup files.
• Creating a Contingency Plan detailing the options for recovering the business during different scenarios.
• Where possible (and financially practical), periodically testing each recovery scenario in advance.

Disasters happen - it's a fact of life - but effective Contingency Planning can reduce the impact on your business to a mere inconvenience.
