Bad weather 'testing disaster recovery plans'
The widespread disruption created by this week's heavy snowfalls is likely to put the disaster recovery strategies of many UK businesses to the test.
Large parts of the country have experienced the heaviest snowfalls in 18 years, with transport networks thrown into chaos and many workers unable to reach their offices.
According to itpro.co.uk, such events should put the spotlight onto business continuity plans for small firms, while also emphasising the importance of flexible working.
Stephen Benyon, managing director of ntl:Telewest Business, said that companies with a flexible working strategy will be better equipped to respond to this week's adverse weather conditions.
"With a home broadband connection and remote working facilities, a business can easily continue its operations and avoid any lost revenue, which is crucial in any economic climate," he explained.
Meanwhile, Tim Bishop of Siemens Enterprise Communications told itpro.co.uk that a unified communications strategy will give businesses an advantage when formulating a disaster recovery plan.
Industry expert Tim Dunger recently told whatpc.co.uk that virtualisation has the potential to "revolutionise" disaster recovery.
