Disaster Recovery Planning
If, tonight, you had a fire, flood, or major mechanical failure, which
rendered your telephone system useless, how would your important business calls
be answered tomorrow morning?
In considering this question, you may wish to note a few statistics:

60% of Companies, which experienced a loss of
normal Telecoms for a period of 10 days, ceased trading within a year. (Source:
Henley Management Institute).
15% lose over £1 million, 20% lose between
£250,000 and £1 million, 33% lose between £10,000 and £250,000 (Source:

It does not have to be a catastrophic disaster to
affect you business. A recent study found that Theft, Malicious Damage, Major
System Faults, and Hacking accounted for many more “disaster scenario
incidents” than floods and fires.

recovery planning, our aim is to forestall the threat to your vital
telecommunications functions, and to minimise the impact should the threat ever
