Seminar In-Depth
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Course Description

Fire. Flood. Virus. Server failure. Even a dissatisfied employee deleting critical files from your computer systems. If such an event struck your business, how long would it take for your company or firm to resume full operations? Are you sure you would be able to do so? In fact, Gartner Inc. research found that 93% of organizations that have experienced a significant data loss are out of business within five years. If you are not willing to gamble with your organization's future, then you should make plans to attend this seminar.

In this program, you will learn about the importance of developing business continuity and disaster recovery plans to allow you and your organization to respond swiftly, efficiently, and effectively to a myriad of risks facing your business. You will learn how to identify these risks along with what types of planned responses are appropriate to each level of risk. Additionally, you will learn about strategies for recovering from widespread failures, regardless of the cause.  If you are concerned about the long-term viability of your business, or if you advise clients in such matters, this program is necessary to ensure the continuing business viability.
