In April 2005, the Financial Times joined with Symantec to conduct a comprehensive survey of senior-level executives responsible for managing Business Continuity Programs (protecting critical business processes by evaluating resources and recovery strategies in advance of both planned and unplanned events) and Disaster Recovery (a component of Business Continuity, traditionally associated with ongoing operation of specific information technology services). In response, those participating in this survey identified several priorities, including the need to: plan more broadly; test more rigorously; evaluate investments on a wider basis, including the use of a "Total cost of ownership" model; and examine more carefully options that help firms reduce the amount of and cost of risk capital dedicated to Business Continuity issues.
