The reasons for failure are many but the reasons for success are few and Chill IT can help your organisation prepare for disaster. The trick is determining where you are now and then bridging the gap to where you really need to be.  Expertise, experience, and proven processes help you achieve that goal.

One of the first steps is to acknowledge that every organisation is unique.  Infrastructure, computer systems (hardware and software), proprietary processes and specialised procedures are just some of the things that make your organisation unique.  Sometimes those differences are subtle and taken for granted as "normal operations" or "part of the culture."

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity plans need to embrace those subtleties and differences to recreate an environment that meets your individual needs.

Typical Planning Efforts

• Establishment of goals
• Documentation of the environment
• Risk Identification and Management
• Plan Development
• Plan Execution, Refinement, and Maintenance

This is usually accomplished in two phases, with Phase I accomplishing the first three steps listed above.

We have proven experience with Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning and Execution.  We can assist with the decision making process relative to the many options you will likely have.  Most importantly, we can help your company save valuable time and money.

There is a lot to think about when preparing a plan, but it all eventually comes down to:

• Responsibilities: Processes, Teams, Reporting
• People: Employees, Suppliers, Clients
• Materials: Hardware, Software, Supplies, Telecoms, Data

Once we have helped you analyse these areas, we can proceed to build you a plan that will show:

• Recovery Plan Instructions
• Prioritised Contact List
• Checklists
• Equipment Summary
• Processes by Criticality
• Process Configuration
• Process Dependencies
• Control Locations
• Backup Locations
• Offsite Locations
• Client Contacts
• Supplier Contacts

To give you the best possible opportunity at recovery, Chill IT maintain data centres that can back your data up over your internet connection. Using exciting new technology even allows us to duplicate your systems virtually.
