Contingency Planning
Ask yourself these questions:
- How long can my company and I be without our information on our computers?
- How much would it cost you to be without your information?
- If your information is in only one spot what happens if something happens to that site?
This is not intended to be doom and gloom. This is reality. Computers fail, cell phones get stolen; fires destroy buildings and your data (an invaluable asset) is missing in action. It does not matter if your a small business, large corporation, or nonprofit. Once again, not doom and gloom but assess what it would cost you if you lost your contact list for a week, a month, or indefinitely.
Businesses that address these issues with quality plans are ready to act on them. Contingency planning is big business amongst larger companies and there are price tags that go along with it - but for small businesses there are low-cost services we can leverage to make sure that you are ready, without spending too much.

If you are a larger organization we can work with your IT consulting or your IT staffs to make sure you are ready, while at the same time understanding what being ready means.
