In the unpredictable landscape of business, one thing is certain: disasters can and do happen. Whether it’s a natural calamity, a technological failure, or unforeseen circumstances disrupting operations, the aftermath can be devastating.
According to staggering statistics, approximately 80% of businesses affected by disasters either fail to recover or close within 18 months of reopening. Furthermore, the average downtime for a business to resume operations after a disaster is 9.4 days. These figures serve as a stark reminder of the critical importance of disaster recovery planning for all businesses.
At Deep Blue, we understand the paramount significance of preparing for the unexpected. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of products and services designed to facilitate swift and effective disaster recovery measures. Our solutions are crafted to be implemented quickly and seamlessly, ensuring minimal disruption to your business operations.
One of the key features of our disaster recovery arsenal is the ability to set up automatic failover mechanisms through the Horizon and InBound platforms. In the event of a disruption to your normal communication channels, our systems can seamlessly divert to predefined failover options, such as a mobile or alternative number. This ensures continuity of communication even in the face of adversity.
Moreover, our invoked plans empower businesses to proactively manage crises by enabling rapid response strategies. For instance, if your office becomes inaccessible due to factors like severe weather conditions, roadworks, or strike action, you can effortlessly reroute calls to alternative sites or numbers with a few simple clicks. This level of agility can be instrumental in mitigating the impact of disruptions on your business operations.
For customers utilising our Horizon or InBound-Contact Pro services, we offer the added benefit of setting up staff or service user emergency numbers. This invaluable tool allows you to disseminate critical information to your workforce or customers during emergencies, such as flooding or heavy snow. By recording pertinent messages on the emergency line, employees can ascertain the operational status of your site before attempting to commute, thereby ensuring their safety and well-being. This is a great option for schools or fitness studios to inform parents or clients if they are open.
Disaster recovery measures are not merely about mitigating risks; they are about safeguarding the continuity and resilience of your business. In today’s environment, where unforeseen challenges abound, being prepared is non-negotiable. Floods, snowstorms, roadworks, and other disruptions pose significant threats to business continuity and profitability. However, with our feature-rich hosted telephony solutions, you can rest assured knowing that your business is equipped to navigate through adversity.
Don’t wait until disaster strikes to take action. Contact Deep Blue today at 0333 240 9100 for a comprehensive review of your company’s disaster readiness. Let us help you fortify your business against the unknown and ensure that you emerge stronger and more resilient in the face of adversity. Remember, when it comes to disaster recovery, preparedness is the ultimate key to survival.
