In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, business owners are realizing the importance of cloud applications, disaster recovery plans, and business interruption insurance. Businesses that are going to the Cloud and have a disaster recovery plan can reduce their exposure to any delays in productivity in the event of a disaster occurring. Business owners should review the parameters of their current insurance policy for business interruption coverage. As an alternative to cloud computing, companies can consider using a hosted environment where the business network servers and software applications are maintained off-site.
The Technology Interest Group will be giving a webinar on disaster recovery plans on February 5, 2013 and on mobile devices on January 10, 2013 which will help prepare your business in the event of a disaster.
