Disaster Recovery

Additional Resources

Need a compelling reason to invest in disaster recovery services? Turn on the news and you’ll soon realize that between natural disasters, unanticipated network equipment failures and targeted cybercrime, a proactive disaster recovery plan merits high priority status on your corporate agenda. Even something as simple as a suspected network penetration by a hacker can cause a spiral of activity and cost, to say nothing of an extended outage of a mission-critical system.

Effective disaster recovery and its associated business continuity protocol anticipates and addresses disruptive events on a sliding scale, so you are prepared for everything from the “normal” everyday hiccups to the truly disastrous communications outages.

Key Business Benefits

Minimize Impact on Productivity - Reduce your risk of losing business and productivity by proactively addressing areas where change or additional investments can help ensure the highest level of communications availability. Test disaster recovery plans ahead of time, to ensure proposed metrics are met for time-to-recovery of critical services.

Prioritize Critical Communications Components - Know exactly how you can rapidly re-route and restore critical communications technology and services that are required to keep the business running. If customers can’t contact you, they will contact your competitor – Carousel can help ensure that never happens!

Preserve Order Despite Chaos - Scenario planning and well-documented procedures that define how to deal with personnel, vendors, and clients during a period of disruption or disaster eliminate confusion and poor decision-making when actual outages do occur. When everyone knows their job and what happens next, it’s easy to meet expectations.

Maintain Your Customer SAT - Let your competitors be the ones telling their customers that the computer system is down again. Customers don’t tolerate excuses anymore – they want service. Let Carousel’s DR and business continuity planners keep your contact center excuse-free.

Safeguard Your Business - Minimize the financial impact of a disaster, keeping relationships with business partners, shareholders, stakeholders, strategic alliances, insurers and regulators intact. Disasters can include things as simple as failure of a single critical application like voice mail, upon which many business processes hinge – not just an entire data center outage. Each application should be considered within the framework of the larger organization to create a holistic strategy for return to service from a wide array of outages, and Carousel is here with skilled engineers and architects to help you get it done.
