Information, whether sales,

merchandising, support,

shipping or accounting,

needs to be continually

available to them

Tip 1. Plan for the outcome,

not for the cause

Plan for their impact:

for example, loss of your

primary data center or

unavailability of your main

cloud connection

Tip 2. Concentrate on the

highest priorities

Think critical business

processes and most

needed data

Tip 3. Resolve single points

of failure

Communications links

can be multiplied

using different channels

Tip 4. Align your business

continuity spending

with your priorities

The most important

applications may justify

full cloud-based replication

with hot stand-by servers

ready to take over

in a fraction of a second

Tip 5. Stay compliant

If so, make sure that your

business continuity solutions

are within bounds:

for example, with guarantees

that data will remain

within your national boundary

if this is a requirement

Tip 6. Test your business

continuity procedures

Too many enterprises draw up

detailed plans, fail to test them

and find out too late that the

end result is unworkable or

insufficient

Tip 7. Go upstream and

downstream too

Likewise, if your local resellers

are out of action because of an

earthquake you’ll need to plan

for other outlets to be available

Tip 8. Train your staff

That means making sure that

people know how to switch for

example from office working to

home working

Tip 9. Look after the paper

basics too

Keep them in a container

you can grab in a second

if you have to, and that is

fireproof and waterproof too
