Disaster Planning

The dependency of business processes upon the continuous availability of the technology infrastructure that supports them has never been as critical and far-reaching as it is today. Interrupt the IT infrastructure - especially normal access to data - and you effectively interrupt the business.

There are 2 major considerations that Corporations need to plan for :

Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) and Business Continuity Planning (BCP)

The following steps will be executed :

• Vulnerability Assessment
• Requirements and Business Impact Analysis
• Detailed Requirements Specifications
• Costs and Procurement Estimates
• Staged Implementation Plan
• Testing Program
• Maintenance Program
• Support and Upgrades Program
