Interruptions often happen with little or no warning. Having a clear and tested Business Continuity plan that keeps your staff online and productive is critical and we can help you design and implement this.

‍

This needs to be appropriate to your business size and focused on what really matters. Whilst you can aim for perfection, as a minimum your plan should ensure survival and recovery.

‍

Typically the key systems would include

• Internet access
• Email/Calendar
• Accounting/Payroll
• Any point of sale system taking customer orders
• CRM systems
• Phone / VOIP

‍

Think about

• “How long can we survive without any of the above systems?”
• The locations staff work from
• Access to key business systems
• The impact of being off-line
• How and where you store company data
• Redundancy options for power, network connections and data servers
• Your compliance with regulatory and industry standards and commitments to customers
• Backing up your data
• The cost of lost business

‍

Once you’ve assessed the risks and assigned clear roles and responsibilities, make sure your planning includes regular testing and training. This doesn’t need to be lengthy or expensive but will ensure you review things like supplier contact details and data backups.
