Contingency and Disaster Recovery Planning for Computer Systems

To Ensure Business Continuity and Compliance

Recorded

Processes that rely on computer systems and network infrastructure should continue whenever the computer system or network fails. And once the system fails it should be brought back into working conditions as quickly as possible and lost data should be recovered. All this requires both a good contingency planning as well as disaster recovery planning process. Many companies don't have such plans because resources on other projects and frequently there is a lack of understanding on how to develop, implement and maintain such plans.
