Based on a study by the University of Missouri, after only 2 days of total failure of the data center, businesses are experiencing an average loss of 30% in core business activities. By the 5th day, 70% of its capabilities are lost and, by the tenth day, the typical businesses are running at 10% of its capacity. These levels of loss occur even in less time in the financial and utilities sectors.
Business continuity practices (BCP – Business Continuity Plan) and disaster recovery (DRP – Disaster Recovery Plan) are closely related, because while disaster recovery is the set of steps and processes involved to restore the operation of a data center after one major disruption, the continuity of the business involves the management and coordination during an emergency as well as notify employees and interaction with clients, media and the authorities that control the emergency.
According to a study by Gartner Group, the frequency of common interruptions in business has boosted the external services of recovery market disaster, including services such as data center, backup and recovery services and mobile systems, while in Mexico we have seen in recent years that disasters have been increasingly more extensive and more devastating.
Now… What is the Business Continuity Planning, also known as Continuity Planning of Operations and resulting in a Business Continuity Plan? Both refer to the capacity of an organization to restore its operations, or the actions to carry out, as a result of any interruption in their operations.
Whether it be the cause of the interruption by a catastrophe or a simple human error, keep the doors open and the business operating won’t happen by accident without a prior planning.
