In agreement
- A clear distinction needs to be drawn between areas of responsibility for the technology team and areas of wider business liability.
- Business continuity planning is not always top of mind for non-IT executives, so frequently it needs to be driven through fresh developments, such as new governance requirements.
- Business continuity plans and disaster recovery plans must be tested regularly. Independent assessment can often be beneficial.
- Virtualisation has the potential to have a major impact on business continuity and the ability of organisations to mirror their systems off site with ease.
