Business Continuity Planning
What is it? |
|
Regrettably, and, almost unbelievably, we are all too often
asked that very question. It seems inconceivable to us that
in the light of the recent Terrorist atrocities in London,
some Company Directors and Senior Management Teams appear not
to have thought about this vitally important area of strategic
level planning. |

Don’t take our word for it here are the words of the Security
Service (MI5), “.. Business continuity planning is obviously
not just driven by terrorism, but it would be critical to your business's
survival if it was affected by a terrorist incident. And the benefits
have an even wider impact. Every year nearly one in five businesses
suffers a major disruption, and planning to deal with those disruptions
is widely regarded as good business sense.” [Source:

As you can see effective business continuity planning is critical
to ensuring that the essential functions of your business can carry
on despite an emergency, it does not really matter if that emergency
is a full blown terrorist action or, more likely, something much
more mundane such as a gas leak or burst water main. Have you considered
what you would do if you turned up at your premises and were unable
to carry out your core business?
Phoenix Intelligent Solutions Ltd can provide your business no
matter what size with bespoke continuity plans. This service includes
where necessary the sourcing and provision of any essential equipment
or services that you would require in the event of an emergency.
