Have you considered what would really happen to your business if you lost all your data - your documents, spreadsheets, presentations, e-mails, client and accounting data?

We have used our extensive practical experience in the field of Contingency Planning to develop services to help organisations protect themselvesagainst the impact of unexpected events.

Effective's approach to Contingency Planning is best illustrated as follows :-

1) Contingency Planning Consultancy – the overall process of assessing the various risks that face an organisation and the development of an appropriate plan consistent with the organisation’s own approach to perceived business risks.

Effective offer a consultancy process designed to help the Senior Management team cover the six key steps in the Contingency Planning process.

2) Server Environment (TotalCare) – the process of ensuring that an organisation’s server environment can be protected and readily reconstituted following the occurrence of an unexpected event.

Effective offer initial consultancy to assess the server environment and determine the appropriate restoration process, followed by the installation & testing of software to capture a full working image of each critical server.

3) Data BackUp (RBS) - the core process of ensuring that an organisation’s critical data is identified, backed up on an appropriate basis and can be restored efficiently when and where it is needed.

Effective offer initial consultancy to assess the data environment and to determine restoration requirements followed by the installation & testing of software to securely backup your data.

Effective’s new RBS service eliminates the worry by automatically encrypting and backing-up your data to a secure off-site location. Restoration of data is under your control and available 24hrs a day / 7 days a week. We provide storage capacity according to your needs.

Pricing is based on volume of data stored NOT on volume transferred - our base service is available from just £9.99 + VAT per month

Failure to address Contingency Planning can be fatal :-

• DTI research suggests that 70% of UK businesses that lose important data fail completely in just 18 months.

• Many organisations simply don't realise just how important their data is until it's too late. Other research shows that only 33% of UK Companies backup their data to locations outside their own premises.
