Are you prepared for the unexpected?

Natural disasters. Terrorist attacks. Viruses. System failures. The list of threats to business continuity is growing. In today’s networked economy, where communication and data are vital, even a few hours of service disruption can have devastating results.

With BT’s holistic approach to security and business continuity management, you can maximise your organisation’s operational resilience and reduce the impact on your bottom line.

Our experience is your best defence

BT offers comprehensive Business Continuity solutions, protecting you against a wide variety of threats that can disrupt your critical operations and services.

We take on the complexity inherent in business continuity planning by combining our professional services expertise, experience, and methodology with best-in-class ‘high availability’ and disaster recovery solutions. To ensure a full service and global coverage for our clients, we also work with key strategic partners, reducing risk and protecting your enterprise if disaster strikes.

We will work with you to identify and anticipate potential threats to your organisation, designing and implementing dependable back-up systems and providing a single point of contact – even when multiple service contracts are in place. Our aim is to provide a resilient and highly available networked IT infrastructure that will help your business thrive in the 21st century.

A focused process

To survive a crisis, you need an approach to business continuity that combines strong operational resilience, effective recovery processes, and an experienced incident management team – all underpinned by rigorous and tested continuity plans. For example, we implemented a comprehensive business continuity programme for a major UK City Council, which guarantees the provision of a backup communications system within 12 hours of a failure.

BT has also undertaken all aspects of business continuity planning for a global oil and gas company. This includes business impact assessments, identifying recovery strategies, implementing the optimal solution, and writing and testing the continuity plans.

With our depth of experience, BT can tailor continuity solutions to meet your specific business needs. We focus on helping you to address your precise risks, and enabling you to quickly resume operations in the event of a disruption.
