Assessment

Disaster can strike your business at any time, shutting down your operations, leaving employees and customers stranded and seriously impacting your bottom line. How quickly you recover business functionality, and in what timeframe, could be the difference between losing thousands rather than millions of dollars.

In today’s complex business environment, there’s no magical switch to turn your systems back on. Companies must analyze and identify the mission critical business functions that are necessary to keep their businesses up and running.

The Business Continuance Assessment service from CDI provides a detailed analysis of your operations, your critical business processes and your company’s readiness in the event of planned or unplanned downtime. We also identify ways to improve the availability, recoverability, performance and security of your network and Storage Area Network (SAN) operations and business functions.

Business Continuance Assessment Service

CDI starts by performing considerable business impact and risk analysis of your enterprise operation to determine the requirements for your recovery strategy, keeping in mind that the cost of the recovery plan must be relevant to the financial impact of the potential downtime.

Our consultants work with your staff to define the fundamental requirements that satisfy your basic business and recovery demands. Our consultants compare your corporate as well as departmental uptime and availability requirements against your current environment to determine feasible business continuance alternatives and acceptable levels of data loss. After identifying potential single-points-of-failure, mission-critical business functions and applications are determined and ranked in the order that they would need to be brought back online and at the acceptable recovery levels.

The assessment includes a recommendation of applications, servers, storage, backup and security requirements needed to meet your designated recovery levels, and which vendors/suppliers are critical to your plan. Provisions are also made for off-site location of redundant equipment.

Learn How Prepared You Need to Be

When catastrophe hits, whether it’s a routine failure or natural disaster, it’s too late to realize that you don’t have a solid recovery strategy, or that your plan did not bring customer service applications back online ahead of human resource programs. You need to prepare to be prepared.
