New Year, New Business Resolutions
Have you set your business targets for 2013? What do you hope your organisation will be better at in 2013?
As the New Year begins the custom of setting New Year's resolutions starts, the tradition of setting resolutions dates back at least to ancient Roman times, and 2,000 years later the goal-setting habit is still thriving. With nearly half the population making New Year's resolutions from getting fit, eating healthier to spending more time with the family... the lists are endless! But, what goals has your business got for 2013? Better profit margins, employee new staff, build customer base, increase skill sets, but you should not forget about increasing data security and protection against disasters whether natural, cyber or human error? Protecting your business and your critical data, ensuring that you can recover and reduce downtime to a minimum is a key component to business continuity and should be strategically put into place.
Make sure you keep your organisation's critical data recoverable in 2013.
Business continuity and disaster recovery became hot topics in 2012, with some very high profile downtime affecting large corporations including RBS, O2, Amazon cloud and Blackberry, bringing the threat of not being able to recover quickly from a disaster to the forefront of C-level management's mind.
With resilience and preparedness planning activities trending for most of 2012, highlighted by some of the natural disasters including Hurricane Sandy, it is looking like those topics are here to stay for 2013 too. The ever increasing pressure placed on organisations for the need for more data storage space whether physical, virtual or cloud with a continuously growing amount of data needing to be available for access anytime and anywhere along with the need for it being secure and recoverable.
