October 2013 by
Today, Middle Eastern companies across the spectrum, who experience disasters, fail to revive back in terms of customer retention, infrastructure losses and financial cost. To safeguard themselves in the occurrence of such events, it is important that organizations examine the processes, policies and procedures related to preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure that is critical to them after a natural or human-induced disaster. It’s vital to build business continuity and emergency response plans to maintain personnel safety and restore the operations for every organization.
