If you are a forward thinking business then you will understand the need for business continuity planning.
Your business challenge
Imagine how a sudden and unexpected power outage at your HQ or workplace, could impact your business’s performance, reputation and security including the integrity of data held on your systems with possible GDPR breaches.
A loss of power for hours, minutes or even a few seconds could create damage for your IT servers, computer networks, telephone and security systems, manufacturing processes or other services.
A total power outage is not the only way your business can be harmed, a power surge (a spike) or a power dip (a brownout) can have the same negative effect on IT systems and other electronics, causing an expensive amount of damage or data loss.
The biggest cost that you may face is the impact this may have on your customers. Without telephones, computers and the product data they hold, your business will not preform to your usual high standards. The commercial impact could be enormous and you will struggle to retain that customer relationship should a standby power solution not be in place for protection.
