Business continuity planning is an important consideration for any organization including traditional high availability enterprises such as banks as well as non-profit organizations such as educational institutions. The basic idea of business continuity is that an organization has a plan in place to continue operations when a disruption occurs such as natural or other disasters. Over the years, the concept of business continuity has evolved to include not just data backup, but also crisis management, application, data and network recovery services, risk assessment, and security. In this panel discussion we will explore the current state of the art of business continuity planning and implementation in the Philadelphia region.
