Description
Successful business continuity ensures that an organization's critical functions are maintained or restored in the event of disruption or crisis. It's an issue that managers face more than ever before, due to globalization, increased regulation and litigation, and increased virtualization of business systems. Despite this there is a lack of understanding of the topic and inadequate implementation of strategies to truly ensure business continuity; in 2010, a UK survey of SMEs revealed that over a third of businesses had no plan in place at all, and no offsite data backup. Business Continuity is a practical introduction to the principles of business continuity with tools, techniques and real case studies to help managers fully understand the issues involved, make good decisions and manage technical specialists effectively to minimise disruption.
