| What Do You Do When the Lights Go Out |
| “You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.” Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) When the lights go out and staff can not access the buidling, do you have a plan? Does staff know what to do, and who to contact. Most peopele think a Business Continuity Plan is the same as a IT Disaster Recovery Plan. The common assumption is that recovery from disasters is the responsibility of IT. Consequently, little effort is made to focus on maintaining business operations. And the welfare of their staff.
However, many service interruptions are not, in themselves, disasters. But they can grow into disasters if the business operation is not prepared to deal with the interruption. Have alternate access to vital information, emergency workspace, cross-trained staff, spare equipment and supplies are all measures of good business planning. |

Common Industry Problems
Inability to provide continuous business services could mean significant revenue loss, impact to customers and suppliers, damage to image or reputation, exposure to liabilities.
A government study stated that; - 43% of companies that have experienced a disaster never reopen.
- 29% of them that do open, close within the following 2 years.
Is your company ready, if:
- Access to premises is prevented, can the business continue elsewhere?
- You have to relocate, how long will it take?
- Records have been destored, how will you recover them?
- Staff are unavailable? and;
- Do you know what your critical IT services are?
Few organizations are ready or prepared when the interruption occurs. Compliance and audit standards (e.g. SOX, CoBIT, ISO, Bill 198) require the ability to survive risks that threaten the organization's survival. |
NegenIT Does:
NegenIT's Business Continuity Program is a comprehensive, written plan with documented procedures focused on maintaining operations during a disaster, and returning business operations to normal as quickly as possible. NegenIT does this through:
- Assessing the extent, impact and consequences of a business interruption
- Communicating protocols that keep the affected parties up-to-date without creating a sense of panic.
- Action plans to maintain stability.
- Contingencies in the form of premises, equipment, supplies and staffing.
- Directions on when to revert back to normal operations when the interruption is over.
