Disaster recovery and business continuity planning should be considered a critical aspect of running a business. However, many organisations disregard it completely. Others have some kind of plan in place, but fail to grasp how time consuming the recovery process can be and the associated cost of downtime.
Now that we're working from home and reducing visits to our customers, we need a new way to sign off on documents. It has become much more complicated to get people together, and as a result important contracts can be left in limbo waiting on a signature.
The new normal for almost all of our customers is to have at least 50% of their employees now working from home. For many, it's over 80% (Netcare for example).
Given the immediate rush to move everyone to some sort of remote working arrangement has passed, the next priority is to circle back around and make sure that our rapid introduction of work-from-home solutions hasn't compromised our business security.
Cloud solutions have steadily been taking over as the main way that businesses access data and processes. This transformation has been particularly empowering for small businesses by lowering the cost of entry for productivity tools and enabling more collaborative and mobile workflows.
Whether from cyber-attack or natural disaster, using Disaster Recovery as a Service can mitigate the downtime for a company and make all the difference when it comes to bouncing back quickly after a downtime crisis, or never being able to fully recover.
Firms adopting and making best use of new technology trends in the AEC industries are the ones that have the best chance of gaining a competitive advantage over their competition. NetCare provides a “whole solution” approach to stay digitally advanced while also keeping your infrastructure protected.
Your IT infrastructure needs regular proactive maintenance to ensure it’s running efficiently and that no major problems go unaddressed. Businesses are so reliant on technology for nearly every area of their operations, that when your IT goes down, so does your business, which can mean devastating consequences to your bottom line.
