In the United States, over 40% of all companies that experience a disaster never reopen, and over 25% of remaining companies close within two years, per the Department of Labor Statistics.
The unfortunate rise in business disruptions from natural disasters, accidents, and human intervention increasingly proves how business continuity and disaster readiness planning is necessary to any responsible business operation. Whether it's something as ordinary as a fire, power outage, or computer virus, or a dramatic anomaly like a major hurricane or terrorist attack, more and more businesses-large and small-are facing the reality that the unexpected can happen at any time.
While the nature, degree, and consequenCES of a disruption will vary, well-thought planning and the right systems infrastructure can clearly make the difference between inconvenience and catastrophe in the event of sudden interruption. One important facet of this preparation is a plan for the fast recovery of organizational content and the business-critical information it contains.
Content is the lifeblood of the modern enterprise, integral not only to operational effectiveness but even to corporate viability. The reality is, without access to content, the majority of today's work just plain stops. Given that, there are compelling reasons why an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution is an important tool for ensuring that this high-value asset is well protected and easily recoverable should the unexpected occur.
Our ECM system enables organizations to package a duplicate copy of data into a single, encrypted, compressed file and transfer it (through FTP or secure FTP) on a user-defined schedule to a separate site for disaster recovery.
