FREE Technology Continuity Clinics
In the modern world, Information and Communications Technology is increasingly becoming the primary enabler for organisations in both the private and public sector. Ensuring such technology aligns to the business continuity management (BCM) strategies of organisations is, in consequence, becoming ever more critical. To address this increasingly urgent requirement, Automata is launching a series of innovative FREE Technology Continuity Clinics aimed at assisting both BCM professionals and their technology colleagues understand the positive benefits of aligning their technology strategies to BCM programmes. Some of the key issues that will be explored include:
• The differences between “technology continuity” and “disaster recovery”
• The cumulative impact of disruption caused by “quite technology calamities”
• The difference between Business Impact Analysis and Risk Assessment
• How technology professionals should contribute to Business Impact Analysis
• The benefits and extreme risks associated with “Disaster Recovery” solutions
• Complementary/alternative technology continuity solutions to “Disaster Recovery”
• The concept of “toxic” data: discovering and managing its extreme costs and risks.
• The suitability of specific, current technologies to BCM requirements
• Technologies to assist with plan creation
• Technologies to assist with “Command and Control”
• The ultra high security requirements of technology continuity plans
• How to rigorously test technology continuity solution prior to implementation
• Assimilating technology from newly acquired businesses at low cost and risk
• Ensuring old business technology can be divested at low cost and risk
• How technology continuity contributes to “green“ strategies
• How to achieve Returns on Investment for technology continuity purchases
• The synergies between BS 25999 “Business Continuity Management" and BS PAS 77 “IT Service Continuity Management”
Automata’s experts will facilitate discussion on the above issues and delegates’ specific concerns to explore cost effective, vendor neutral solutions. Automata’s Continuity Clinics will be held between 10 am and 12.30 pm on the first Friday of every month at Sedgebrook Hall, Northamptonshire. Full refreshments will be provided and a free buffet lunch.
