Business Continuity
Don't let downtime be lost time

There's no getting around it: Accidents happen—and so do natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other tragedies that can impact the IT operations that are at the core of successful business operations. To ensure that your business can survive these impacts you need to plan for the worst, lining up the actions that will be required, the resources needed, and the stakeholders involved, should the day come when some sort of disruption threatens your business continuity. DaVinciTek is highly skilled in this area and can help you complete a business impact assessment that identifies the impacts of such a disruption—and the critical elements required to minimize those impacts. Our approach to this assessment is both comprehensive and ground-breaking in its speed: in less than two months we can complete an expedited assessment to quantify the impact of disruption on your business; companies typically spend eight months or more to achieve the same results using traditional BIA methods.

In the course of this assessment we complete what-if models examining business impacts of various mitigation strategies. Our analyses are straightforward and analytical, delivering to you the hard dollar evaluations and quantitative assessments you need to move forward with your business continuity improvement plan. Our business continuity plans start with an examination of recovery time objectives (RTO), and proceed to determining the recovery point objective (RPO), or a projection of the state of data after initial recovery. We then leave other planning approaches in the dust as we calculate the time it will take with different strategies to get things back to pre-disruption levels, what we call the normalized operations window (NOW).

Other parameters we consider integral to our business continuity planning include:

• business unit and technology continuity
• effective data backup and restoration strategies
• data replication and mirroring
• recovery of physical assets
• alternative operational sites
• staffing
• return to permanent site following disruption
