Protect your business against interruptions that jeopardize
data and mission-critical applications.

What would you do in the event of a disruption
to your business? |
  |
Are you geared to respond rapidly and timeously
to a crisis; a disaster; a situation that denies
you access to your premises? |
  |
As a business owner charged with the responsibility
for keeping your business up and running all the
time, with particular attention paid to the requirements
of legislation, can you say with confidence that
you have fully met your obligations to protect
your company and ensure its uninterrupted operations? |
Engini Consulting offers the expertise you need
to structure and define a business continuity strategy
for critical data that can be executed and counted upon
to:

Decrease frequency and duration of downtime

Minimize lost revenue

Reduce cost exposure due to missed SLA's or compliance
with regulatory

requirements

Protect customer relationships and consumer confidence
Engini consulting offers the services you need to
design and deploy a disaster-resilient data protection
solution on which your business can safely depend. We
offer a proven approach to identify key issues and build
a roadmap for change.
If you can't answer the crisis questions, you need carefully
to review your approach to business continuity management...
failure to do so could leave your business exposed to
an unacceptable level. IT is the backbone of business
today. Over the last 30 years, IT has evolved to become
a critical, strategic component of business. Businesses
run 24x7x365; they transact and interact at blinding
speed, with overwhelming volumes of data generated on
a daily basis. Mission-critical platforms abound, and
millions are traded in a flash in centralized treasuries.
Revenue-generating systems such as billing applications
are essential to keep cash flow moving. Vital customer-facing
applications need to be protected against any contingency.
Outages of any kind can cripple a business; lead to
significant loss of revenue; hamper the delivery of
services; loss of market share and damage to reputation
and brand equity; chronic inconvenience to customers;
and, in the most extreme cases, closure of your business.
What can the world throw at your business?
The lessons of life experience have shown that the
one commonality among business disruptions is their
unpredictability. You simply cannot predict when,
how and where a disruption will occur. The tragic
events of 9/11; the ongoing menace of terrorism which
casts an unpredictable shadow across the globe; the
nationwide power blackouts which have crippled North
America and Europe ... all of these are events which
have sharpened the focus of executives and made them
continually rethink their approach to business continuity.
Executives' today stand at a unique juncture: they
understand and are ready to internalize and live out
the precepts of business continuity... their big question
is: what is the next step? Global best practice indicates
that to obtain the ideal outcome in the domain of
business continuity, it is best to partner with a
dedicated service provider, whose core business it
is to provide such services, leaving you free to focus
on what you do best.

Drawing on our experience, our team begins by identifying
the key areas of risk to which your business might be
exposed. Our consultants, working closely with you,
identify and reduce the likelihood of risk by conducting
a business impact analysis and risk analysis. From this
exercise we identify and prioritize the critical processes,
applications, technology and resources that might be
vulnerable to disruption. Following this exercise, which
can reveal many shortcomings and have valuable input
into strategy, we develop a business continuity programme
tailored to your organization. Experienced advisors
plot IT recovery requirements together with company
staff, identifying critical data or applications for
recovery.
Business continuity is a rapidly evolving and developing
discipline of near-limitless depth and complexity. However,
our consultants would be delighted to engage with you
and discuss ways in which you can guarantee your business
continuity, while remaining true to your core business.
