Protection against IT failure
Business continuity is a process developed to counteract systems failure. If your IT systems fail or are unavailable, it is likely to have a significant impact on your whole business. Therefore you should take an active interest in establishing business continuity plans for your IT systems.
When IT fails, so does business. Business continuity planning is critical to ensuring that the essential functions of your business can carry on despite an emergency.
Business continuity is the process of having the systems in place and being prepared for the unexpected. It enables your organisation to minimise the effects of disruptive events and have the minimum impact on day-to-day activities.

Business Continuity Considerations
There are some important factors to consider when you are thinking about business continuity:
How long could your company survive without access to its critical applications? Minutes can mean hundreds of thousands of pounds, the importance of business continuity can be seen when you look at the effect on your business that failure of your critical applications would lead to.
Could you survive without your data? Data is often one of your businesses most important assets; could you cope without your data?
If there is an emergency or disaster, are you prepared? How quickly could you get back to normal operations?
There are a number of solutions MET can provide to ensure that in the case of an unexpected event your IT system, and therefore your business, can cope with the disruption.
