Why Invest in Disaster Recovery Planning

No company is immune to disasters and by not planning ahead your company could experience significant financial loss and in worst case scenarios suffer a total loss of information.  How much would an hour or a day of downtime cost your company?  Recent research estimates that for every $1 spent on disaster recovery plans saves $4 in response and recovery costs.  A complete disaster recovery plan will save not only time and money, but could save lives in the event of a major disaster.

Our society has become increasingly reliant on information technology to communicate and transmit data, which makes it imperative for companies to protect their information and have strategies in place to avoid potential disasters. According to U.S. bureau of labor statistics, 93% of companies that experienced a data disaster were out of business within 5 years.
