Disaster recovery and business continuity planners often ask us how they can gain management commitment. Enterprises with the best business continuity and disaster recovery practices have a corporate culture espousing availability and an understanding of the costs associated with business process outages. These enterprises also realize that following a well-defined process when disaster strikes is significantly better (resulting in less downtime and costs) than trying to respond to an incident in crisis mode without the benefit of planning, coordination and testing.

Are you struggling to get the necessary funding? Let us know. Business continuity and disaster recovery planners attending our BC/DR track will learn ways to enlighten the executive team and shore up necessary commitment.
