Many disasters can quickly knock out your entire corporate
network or database. If you don’t have a disaster recovery plan in
place, chances are that the consequences will be severe. The
National Archives and Records Administration reports that 93
percent of companies that experience data loss and downtime,
extending for 10 or more days, will le for bankruptcy within 12
months. In addition, 43 percent of companies that do not have a
disaster recovery plan will go out of business in the aftermath of
major data loss.

A disaster recovery plan describes scenarios for resuming work

quickly and reducing interruptions in the aftermath of a disaster.
It is an important part of the business continuity plan and it
allows for suf cient IT recovery and the prevention of data loss.

of other important ways. Collaboration Contact Center X

Here are the top 4 bene ts of disaster recovery planning:

1. Cost-Ef ciency
Disaster recovery plans have multiple components. The most
important elements include:

• Preventative measures that reduce the risk of a man-made

disaster taking place

• Detective measures aimed at identifying unwanted events

quickly

• Corrective measures that restore lost data and allow for

business processes to resume in the aftermath of a disaster
 Request Information
To accomplish these goals, you will have to A) run analysis of 1.877.459.4347
potential threats, B) maintain IT systems in optimal condition,
and C) seek innovative solutions that will guarantee business
continuity and focus on cybersecurity.

On-time updates and opting for more innovative hardware and

software can potentially save organizations a lot of money in the
long run. Furthermore, an even bigger shift is being seen with
more and more organizations adopting a cloud-based data
management instead of local storage and operations. This pivot,
as a part of disaster recovery planning, can minimize the cost of
archive maintenance and the creation of comprehensive
backups.

2. Increased Employee Productivity

task, organizations can bene t from peace of mind pertaining to
overall the integrity of the network. Additionally, if someone is
out on vacation or on sick leave, there will still be a quali ed
individual within the organization capable of dealing with the
respective task.

Likewise, the same cross-training rule applies when an employee

leaves the company. These are just a couple of scenarios that
could be anticipated and addressed in a disaster planning
strategy.

3. Greater Customer Retention

Clients today expect nothing short of perfection and reliability.
They are not forgiving in the case of failures or downtime. When
a certain business cannot meet their expectations, clients will
simply move on to another service provider.

Disaster recovery planning enables businesses to maintain a high

service quality, regardless of the circumstances. Reacquiring an
old customer in the aftermath of an IT disaster can be nearly
impossible – a disastrous effect that so many businesses have
experienced rsthand.

In some industries, customers will be affected heavily by

downtime. This is especially true for B2B service providers.  The 1

result, investing in disaster recovery
planning is one of the imperatives when it comes to sustainable
customer retention.

4. A Better Understanding of Scalability

One of the key things you will have to do when planning disaster
recovery is identifying innovative solutions. Technologies like
cloud-based data storage and backups simplify the process of
archive maintenance, enhance the effectiveness of backups and
reduce the cost of disaster recovery.

Because cloud options are easily scalable, they offer more  Request Information

center. A switch can be completed far before a disaster strikes (if
ever) and as the technical demands of the company adapt, so too
will the storage solution being utilized.

Disaster recovery planning begins with a thorough research and

a comparison of possibilities. Businesses who engage in such a
strategic process can quickly uncover data storage solution that
makes a lot more sense than the one being currently utilized and
that can be tweaked on the go.

Disaster recovery planning can streamline IT processes, help for

the elimination of super uous hardware and reduce the risk of
human error. In a sense, you are not just preparing to recover in
