July 2, 2008— Disaster can and does strike anytime, anywhere and often without warning, and few businesses can afford to shut down for an extended period of time. An effective business continuity program is necessary to keep a company up and running.
Business Continuity Planning for Data Centers and Systems: A Strategic Implementation Guide, written by Ronald H. Bowman, Executive Vice President of Tishman Technologies Corporation, does more than answers these questions. It shows CEOs, CFOs, CIOs and IT managers how to create and maintain critical data centers and recovery sites.
As evidenced by heat waves that strain electrical resources to capacity, torrential downpours, intense winds and tornados, steam pipe explosions, and the ongoing threat of terrorism, the vulnerability of an aging power grid and infrastructure is obvious. Any publicly traded company which is laggard in following SEC-mandated Business Continuity Planning/Disaster Recovery guidelines, apart from breaking the law, effectively undermines its financial stability and the security of its clients investments.
This book is of great importance to a host of companies large and small, especially those who need to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC guidelines and/or the Patriot Act. Mr. Bowman wrote it to empower professionals to take a proactive role in preparing a what-if plan for every possible worst-case scenario a business may face.
