Creating a Disaster Recovery plan can be awfully frustrating.  Between the wild assumptions (global pandemics) and educated guesses (local weather phenomena) rests an incredibly unpredictable landscape of disasters.  How do you plan for it all? Should you plan for it all?  This webinar will help your organization develop a plan for success in the face of any disaster.

Covered Topics:

  • Risk factors you might be taking for granted or ignoring in your current plan
  • Which elements of your plan are the most likely to fail during your disaster
  • We all know what happens when we assume
  • A few IT questions you should be asking
  • Employee knowledge matters now more than ever
  • Decisions during DR are made in a vacuum...a risk filled vacuum
  • The disaster plan is probably going to cost you a lot of money
  • Are you cheating on your "tests?"
  • Lessons learned from other disasters
