The Prepared Will Survive
Continuen believes that in almost any disaster situation, those businesses that are prepared
are the ones that will survive. Most people think of rare catastrophic events when they
think of disaster--hurricanes, tornadoes, floods etc. However, for a small business owner
with inadequate preparation plans, even the untimely failure of a single PC hard drive or
the illness of a key employee can mean disaster. You must be prepared to keep your business
running no matter what the circumstances. Disasters threaten the life of your business, and
it is more than likely that your business will experience some sort of disaster. Take the
simple steps necessary to ensure your business' continuity.
What is a Business Continuity Solution?
A Business Continuity solution is a plan and method of preparation that will keep your
business up and running in the face of an unexpected disaster. Also referred to as Disaster
Planning or Disaster Readiness, this type of planning will assist you in determining the
best methods for minimizing a disaster's negative impacts to your business--or avoiding
them altogether.
A Business Continuity solution will enable you to store and protect your company's most critical information and documents in a safe and easily accessible location should your home or office become compromised. With the large amount of threatening situations that exist in the world today, business owners who are without a Business Continuity solution truly need to ask themselves why...
The Continuen Suite for Small Businesses provides the tools and resources to quickly, easily, and affordably implement a Business Continuity solution tailored to meet the unique needs of your company. The Continuen Suite is a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest technology and the most proven practices to provide small businesses with a high-end Business Continuity solution that was previously only available to larger companies with bigger budgets.
How Prepared Are You?
One night, unexpected, a well-established law firm comprised of 15 employees caught fire.
Even though the office was destroyed, this law firm survived. This is how...
- They used cAssets, Continuen's online inventory solution, to update the status of lost items and send to the report (with images, serial numbers, and costs) to their insurance agent for immediate processing.
- They entered a summary of the problem and current status on the Message Board to provide information for employees.
- They used cDocuments to download the company's emergency contact list that they'd previously created using cPlanning so they could start calling the managers and attorneys to put their emergency plan in motion.
- They used cBackup to schedule the downloading of critical work files from the backup of their office PC to their laptop.
How well would your company have done in this situation? Do you have your important backup files stored at a secure, offsite location? Do you have any type of emergency plan? If so, do your employees know what it is? Do you have an inventory of your important assets that can be readily accessed and used in case of emergency?
If you answered "No" to any of these questions, contact Continuen today to start planning to protect your business.
