Description

The changing nature of business and regulatory environments has made a difference in the way that organizations address their need for disaster recovery and business continuity (BC/DR). ¿Younger¿ businesses are realizing that they need to implement BC/DR for the first time, and ¿older¿ firms are recognizing the need to revisit their implementation and adjust their strategy. While IT usually drives DR, the business side often owns BC ¿ so selling a BC/DR plan to the business requires communicating requirements and potential solutions in business terms, early and often; only then will plans be aligned with the true business requirements for BC/DR. Implementing and maintaining BC/DR programs so that they deliver value requires careful technology, service, and vendor selection; but it¿s even more important to establish and maintain effective processes around BC/DR so that the solution remains effective and relevant over time.

Agenda

• How do you know if you need DR and BC?
• What internal and external forces will drive the decision to implement DR and BC?
• How do you sell DR and BC to the business and make sure that technology plans align with business requirements?
• How can you ensure that your DR and BC implementations stand the test of time, both in terms of technology and processes?
