 Disaster Recovery
Aftermath:
Disaster Recovery
Gartner estimates that two out of five
enterprises that experience a disaster will go
out of
business in five years. Enterprises can improve those odds - but
only if they
take the necessary measures before and after
the disaster.
The Ripple
Effect: Disaster's Indirect Impact
The events of 11
September 2001 show that disasters affect even enterprises
far
from the scene of the event. Enterprises must begin preparing
for these ripple effects.
 Business Continuity Planning
Aftermath:
Business Continuity Planning
In the past 10 years,
business continuity planning (BCP) has evolved into a major
concern
for corporate and IT decision makers, and the
Internet and evolution of e-business have
significantly
increased its importance.
Integrating
BCP Into the IT Project Life Cycle
To maintain customer
confidence and financial stability in the event of a disaster,
BCP must be addressed at the beginning of an IT project. Here,
Gartner describes
how BCP can be integrated into the IT
project life cycle.
 Technology
Tools and Services
Aftermath:
Technology Tools and Services
Disaster recovery and
business continuity planning are complex and highly
specialized
fields. Enterprises need detailed information
to help them make mission-critical decisions
about these
technologies and services.
Negotiating a
Sound Business Continuity Contract
How will the
information security service market evolve?
Outsourcing
business continuity services to an external services provider (ESP)
makes
good financial and organizational sense - but only
if enterprises carefully negotiate their
service
contracts.
