Government organizations and businesses of all sizes need to create and implement comprehensive business and operations continuity plans. Most organizations understand that they need to protect their data and systems -an activity known as disaster recovery. The disaster recovery is only half the battle-enterprises need also be prepared to quickly and seamlessly restart business processes in order to continue operations. This requires business continuity strategic planning. Failure to develop a business continuity plan can have serious consequences. Finally, business executives and IT planners should note that Symantec is strongly committed to helping organizations build and deploy disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
