New Edinburgh Continuity Facility - September 15th, 2009

Planning for the Unexpected …

It’s quite shocking to learn that 80% of businesses affected by a major incident either never re-open, or close within 18 months (Source, Axa 2007 report). But achieving ‘business as usual’ despite an IT failure, building emergency, fire, flood or other disaster, has typically meant high costs and complex contracts with business continuity and disaster recovery suppliers.

1st October 2009 sees the launch of Edinburgh Continuity - a city centre Business Recovery Centre (BRC) that will satisfy the needs of both SME’s and larger organisations, yet boasting lower costs, with simpler, more flexible contracts and payment options.

Managing Director, Mike Glaire, comments “whilst best practice says that every business should have disaster recovery plans in place, for many businesses it is now compulsory in order to fulfil legal, preferred supplier or insurance requirements. We have the IT, the communications and the support that businesses need to minimise any disruption, as well as space for up to 200 people in offices at the heart of the city for if and when you have to evacuate your own premises.”

Edinburgh Continuity caters for the SME with an all-inclusive package from £199 per person per year. And for organisations with more sophisticated IT or communications, a package can be tailor-made.

For further information, and an early opportunity to view the facility, please contact Mike Glaire or visit the website.
