For any organisation that’s been hit by a major event that’s knocked its IT systems offline, the experience can feel like having one’s hands cut-off.
Being unable to access critical IT systems and data can grind both trade and operations to a halt until systems engineers are able to kick their business continuity plans into action and successfully recover by whatever means.
Even then a successful recovery and restoration isn’t guaranteed as already busy IT managers are potentially unlikely to have considered worst-case scenarios. In some cases, especially following events such as fires, floods and other unforeseeable catastrophes at business premises, it may not even be possible to physically access hardware and systems required to orchestrate a disaster recovery.
Before having to face the unthinkable, the smart choice for organisations determined to have a fail-safe means of ensuring business continuity is to outsource IT Disaster Recovery to a third-party managed service provider (MSP).
There are many more benefits associated with having an MSP-managed IT business continuity plan that we take for granted should the worst happen. For instance, think about your relationships with suppliers, partners and other stakeholders: frustrations and tensions can easily escalate if other organisations relying on your operations are affected by outages; being down for days – even hours – can drastically impact confidence in your organisation and jeopardise long-term relationships.
Even more worryingly, customers that can’t get what they need and want immediately will likely take their business elsewhere and you should never want to give them a reason to try-out your competitors!
In addition to losing money, the brand damage that major outages can wreak is increasingly difficult to repair given how quickly news can travel on social media.
It pays, therefore, to partner with an experienced and properly-resourced Managed Services Provider who can help you to develop a comprehensive IT business continuity plan that you know can be executed the moment it is required, relieving you of the costs, efforts and anxiety associated with attempting such a major undertaking on your own.
Brennan IT has been named Australia’s leading managed service provider for the past 9 years running in the MSP 501 rankings from Channel Futures, and Business Continuity Planning is a core competency.
