IT systems have become increasingly critical to the smooth operation of any business, the importance of ensuring the continued operation and the rapid recovery of the systems is paramount.
Optim IP work with best of breed partners to ensure controlled measures and steps or mechanisms are put in place that can reduce or eliminate various threats.
It is estimated that most large companies should spend between 2% and 4% of their IT budget on disaster recovery planning, with the aim of avoiding larger losses in the event that the business cannot continue to function due to loss of IT infrastructure and data. Of companies that had a major loss of business data, 43% never reopen, 51% close within two years, and only 6% will survive long-term.
As a result, preparation for continuation or recovery of systems needs to be taken very seriously. This involves an investment of time and money with the aim of ensuring minimal losses in the event of a disruptive event. Often businesses do not have the man power on site to achieve this hence the need to outsource to a third party provider such as Optim IP, who can ensure the right solution is put in place for their business needs.
