Business Continuity

What would happen if your office suddenly wasn’t available or usable? Or do you have a plan in case of a natural or man-made disaster?
Disaster recovery planning is critical to the life of your business. You know you should be doing it, but maybe you don’t know where to start. And you’re concerned about the cost.

EcomNets Approach to Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Step 1 - Risk and Business Impact Analysis: The ability of your organization to survive a disaster successfully is highly dependent on how much planning and testing has been done in advance. We start the process by determining your organization’s risk tolerance and the potential impact of an interruption on employees, customers and the corporate entity. We finish by establishing Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Minimum Operating Requirements (MOR).

Step 2 - Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning: In this step, we propose appropriate continuity strategies to meet the requirements established in the analysis step. Some of the solutions we have proposed and implemented for customers include use of high availability solutions, data center mirroring, and partnering with external organizations. We finish by delivering a written and executable data disaster recovery plan.

Step 3 – Data DR Plan Implementation and Testing: A plan is only as good as its execution, which is why we encourage and manage routine tests of your DR plan. If your DR plan includes external vendors, we will manage their role in the test case as well. Testing results are used to continuously update the DR plan, so that it is always in step with your organization’s needs.
