Planning is very essential, be it a party or disaster planning. If you own a company, just try putting these questions to yourself. What if your disaster management company cannot use its computers for a day? What if all your communication systems fail? A sudden communication system outage, even for a short duration can result in huge financial losses and inconvenience to your business. It is definitely not advisable to afford such disruption.
A proper planning for any type of interruption in the telephone or the data service should be the prime objective for any business. However, unfortunately the importance of urgent communication and disaster management is only understood only when an outage occurs. A little planning in advance can save you from the tension of interruption of service and the commotion created because of the same.
Any business should be prepared for certain events like a power failure, network outage, failure of the communication systems and any disaster affecting your region of work. During disasters the telecom systems that are powered by local electricity trip down due to lack of power drastically affecting the ability to communicate. Any Disaster Management Team should first pay serious attention to these facts. A loss of communication network holds customers from placing orders even affecting the local business. Thus, restoring the telecom service would bring life back to the business. Companies that have telecom disaster plan are always better prepared for outage due to any reason.
In the past, disaster management was very expensive and unaffordable to most of the companies. With new technologies, now there are less expensive options available even for smallest telecom budgets.
Efficient plan:
An efficient plan is the one that is capable of bringing back your resources as fast as possible. It may include anything from jotting down a plan on how to re-route the telecom services to purchasing automatic routing arrangements along with a carrier. The plan also requires redundancy in components and the systems to provide continuous operation.
It is important for you to understand all of your services, the value provided and the impact on your business if the service goes off for a period of time while you are designing the disaster plan. Knowledge of the most common parts of the service that might likely fail and how that failure will affect your business and its connectivity is also very important.
