The New Fulcrum Point

Business Continuity

Keeping your organization afloat and functioning during crisis is the backbone of this topic. That's at the core of business continuity, but there's a lot more. Disaster recovery and planning also play a role. During our Twitter chat on #itchat, we'll find out from business leaders and IT professionals what technologies and methods must be employed to prevent your enterprise from damage and to keep your information and facilities safe. We'll may also touch on reporting requirements, crisis communications plans and more.

One critical thing to remember is that no one element can be ignored in business continuity. Physical, IT and HR plans can't be silos of development. They all need to be created in coordination - which requires a lot of clear, effective communication. Something that a lot of professionals overlook when putting a business continuity plan together.

Here are the four questions for today's online Twitter session...

How do you define business continuity? What's the best technology to keep your enterprise up and running?

How do you ensure that systems and processes don't rely on one department or division?

How is coordination of continuity planning handled at your organization? Are all teams given equal 'power' or voice?

Do you have a mandated replacement or upgrade path for your IT and technology services?

During the #itchat, you'll be encouraged to ask your own questions and help drive the discussion. It's your participation that makes the chats worthwhile for all business technology professionals. We're looking forward to talking with you.
