Business Continuity (BC) is far more than simply keeping a company productive via its IT systems.
BC is concerned with the whole business; its people and processes, its good corporate governance and what risk management and impact analysis measures are in place.
Naturally IT is a vital part of a corporate BC strategy. But when planning Business Continuity for a large organisation, a CTO or CIO normally works with a senior BC professional. Charged with delivering good corporate governance, the BC head will then appoint a BC solutions provider such as ICM.
However, smaller companies often lack dedicated BC personnel. In such cases, BC delivery – in particular, disaster recovery and data management measures – is likely to be the responsibility of the corporate IT department.
