Cloud-based SaaS products have streamlined BCP and disaster recovery, argues Tarek Meliti, CEO and founder of TDM Group
For those not in the know, a BCP (Business Continuity Plan) outlines how a business will continue operating during an unplanned disruption in service. It’s more holistic than a disaster recovery plan because it details contingencies for business processes, assets, human resources, and partners – providing an enterprise-wide view of recovery.
A 2019 LogicMonitor study reported that 96 percent of organisations have experienced at least one outage in the past three years and 95 percent had experienced at least one brownout. Although data loss is by no means the only risk that highlights the importance of a thorough BCP, it is stats like this that should bring business continuity planning into sharp focus for IT decision-makers.
