Business Continuity Planning & Recovery

I NEED...

  • To protect my critical business functions in case of disaster
  • Minimal downtime should an extended interruption occur
  • A comprehensive, bulletproof disaster recovery plan
  • A proactive, ongoing approach to business continuity

Business Continuity and Recovery is a business best practice detailing how your organization readies, recovers and restores partially or completely interrupted critical business functions within a predetermined time following a disaster or extended interruption.

Logicalis’ Business Continuity and Recovery practice helps you better prepare for incidents that could jeopardize your company's long-term health and core missions. Effective continuity planning often means the difference between uninterrupted, efficient operations and unproductive, costly downtime. Logicalis' Business Continuity and Recovery practice keeps your organization up and running, minimizing downtime and mitigating technology and information losses.

Key Features of the Logicalis Business Continuity and Recovery Approach
Logicalis takes a service-oriented approach to Business Continuity and Recovery. Because we are vendor independent, we allow our clients’ environments to determine the technology required. We focus on recovery of business processes, rather than software, hardware and systems. The major advantage of looking at Business Continuity and Recovery this way is it allows recovery based on the prioritized needs of your business. The cost-to-recover can be calculated at a business-service level, helping to prioritize and appropriately budget for what needs to be done first.

Five Key Benefits of Business Continuity Planning

1.  Minimize the interruption of core business processes

2.  Meet regulatory and compliance requirements

3.  Reduce costs of possible litigation and legal liability

4.  Reduce exposure to financial losses

5.  Have documented plan for emergency situations

Service-oriented business continuity comprises four steps. Depending on your requirements, we can engage on individual phases or deliver a complete project that incorporates all of the following:

Planning: We draw a picture of your requirements, including risk assessment, vulnerability analysis, project management and identification of threats. Deliverable: Risk and threat assessment

Strategy: We define needs, including valuing business services, performing business impact analysis, defining recovery time objectives and determining minimum operating resources. Deliverable: Business impact analysis and business service prioritization

Execution: We ensure the strategy can be successfully executed. This is accomplished by forming teams and assigning roles and responsibilities, obtaining management buy-in, creating the disaster recovery plan (DRP), and testing the nodes and interruption scenarios. Deliverable: Complete business continuity plan

Maintenance: Business Continuity and Recovery is a practice that requires oversight. Follow-on services include managing the mature disaster recovery plan, spot testing and exercising assets, adjusting for business reorganization and allocating for new business services. Deliverable: Updated business continuity plan as needed
