DATA BACKUPS
There is a practical limit on the number of copies of your data that you can manage, but the point is well taken. How many times have you needed to restore a file or folder, only to find that it isn’t in your backup, it can’t be read, it’s incomplete, or not the version you need? Your experience may be limited to the loss of an easily recreated file or you may have had the pleasure of realizing that months and years worth of work are now gone.

MONITORING
Are you experiencing a hardware failure and your backup is incomplete or nonexistent? We offer basic data recovery services, which are often all that is required to retrieve your data. In those situations where more extensive recovery procedures are required, we will refer you to one of our industry partners for a more rigorous recover attempt. Data recovery attempts are dictated by the individual circumstances, so Contact Us for a custom quote.

Business Continuity

What's the first thing you would do if your business location disappeared overnight?

Call your employees? Do you have their contact information only at the office?

Call your insurance company? Do you have the documentation of your business assets?

Rush to the scene and attempt to recover what's left? Where will you take it and how will you transport what you do recover?

What do you tell the news reporters who are asking what your customers should do or when you anticipate being back in operation?

Do you really want to wait until the morning of discovery to formulate these answers?

You didn't build a successful business by ignoring your bottom line, paying no attention to your inventory levels, or losing business but never bothering to find out why. So why would you dismiss the importance of preparing for a business interruption?

We're blessed to live in a part of the world that has been relatively free from natural disasters. But, when do you get advance notice of fire, gas explosions, or water damage?

We craft a Business Continuity Plan for you by first interviewing you and your staff to identify the most critical components of your business operations. Together we create a timeline of responses to provide notification to stakeholders, restore the core business functionality, and then bring ancillary operations online in a phased approach. As you might suspect, your business communications and data are vital to restoring your core functions. Your plan includes provisions for alternative communication channels and data redundancy. Scheduled testing provides the validity of your Plan and reveals anything that may have been overlooked, assumed, or forgotten.

How long will you wait, hoping you never have to experience a business interruption? Contact us today to get started on your Business Continuity Plan.
