Planning Your Next Disaster

Structuring A Successful BC/DR Implementation And Avoiding The Pitfalls

This is the second document in the "Disaster Recovery And Business Continuity In Europe" series.

by Rudiger Krojnewski, Bill Nagel

with Stephanie Balaouras


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Firms recognize that, for various reasons, they have to build or rebuild their disaster recovery and business continuity (BC/DR) plan and implementation. From the very beginning of this crucial undertaking, companies must consider how to: determine their needs; correlate these needs with available technologies; identify current operational gaps; and build processes and technology solutions that fit with requirements, budgets, architecture, and timelines. After this initial evaluation, the actual process of implementing the BC/DR plan and handing it over to production presents a number of potential pitfalls that firms must consider — ideally from day one — and avoid.
