Business continuity planning (BCP)

Snow and ice, floods, fire, transport strikes, power cuts, road works, even volcanic ash clouds….as a business you face many potential threats that are hard to predict and often beyond your control. To minimise disruption it’s vital that you plan for the unexpected. Ask yourself:

  • What would you do if your internet connection was unavailable?
  • How would you enable your people to work effectively from home at short notice?
  • Do you have alternative premises available at short notice?
  • What if you were unable to access your building or computer systems?
  • What if a virus invaded your system or corrupted the data held?
  • What would happen if you were unable to communicate with customers, partners or suppliers?

Business Continuity Planning advice is included with all our standard CSG 360° Managed Support contracts. However to eliminate the risk of losing valuable data, and enable your business to recover rapidly from a major disaster, we recommend our full BUDR service which offers a comprehensive disaster recovery programme, giving you complete peace of mind that your business will keep functioning during any major incident.

Managed Backup & Diaster Recovery (BUDR)

CSG BUDR is a managed solution for both onsite and off site (Cloud) system backups. The importance of our managed backup service is that it allows CSG to not only guarantee your data is recoverable but gives complete versatility as to how we present your recovered system in the event of a disaster.

Flexible Business Continuity Plan: in the event of a disaster we are able to give you a fully working system to suite every disaster scenario and every change to your business without prior consultation and rewriting your Business Continuity Plan.

System Presentation: after a disaster CSG will assess the exact nature of the disaster and implement the most appropriate recovery scenario for example.

  • Recovery to replacement server sited at customer premises
  • Recovery to replacement server, workstations and infrastructure at customer premises
  • Recovery to CSG servers with customer locating to CSG crash site + home workers
  • Recovery to replication hosted server sited within a our Data Centre for use in any location, offices and home worker premises.

CSG BUDR is the complete solution for your system backup and Business Continuity Planning needs.
