Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Services

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR), as well as the related infrastructure, recovery, and managed services that are a integral part of it, have varying definitions but regardless of the description, at its core, BC/DR is an on-going process to manage risk and increase organizational survivability in any situation. This process is often displayed as a cyclical graphic, like the one in BTS' logo, that entails four or more steps. At a minimum, these lifecycle steps include: (1) Analyzing the entire business functions and process interdependencies to assess risk, (2) Planning to address and develop risk mitigation, (3) Testing completed plans using implemented services and procedures, and (4) Adapting to the results of testing, unidentified risks, and unforeseen events.
