Here are a few pieces of information that can help influence your business continuity plan\u2019s key steps and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>30% of all downtime is caused by environment\nfactors such as temperature, humidity, water leaks, and power loss<\/li><li>40% of SMBs that suffer from a major outage\nclose within 1 year <\/li><li>80% of businesses surveyed by the Uptime Institute\nsaid their outages could have been prevented<\/li><li>Organizations are 10x more likely to suffer from\nwater damage than they are from fire or smoke damage<\/li><li>Water damage claims costing more than $500,000\nhave doubled in the last 4 years<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Far too many organizations miss out on important factors\nthat can cause downtime and temporary closures when they focus on network-related\nand malicious-intent factors and neglect environmental causes of downtime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Enhancing Business Continuity\nWith Room Alert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/room-alert-hero-transparent-bg.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9612\" width=\"282\" height=\"139\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you had your choice, which would you choose \u2013 being alerted\nto a potential cause of downtime and being able to prevent it, or working as\nfast as you could to try and get your business up and running after needing to\nclose due to a water leak or crashed servers thanks to a broken HVAC unit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is essentially the difference between business\ncontinuity and disaster recovery. Both are important to your organization, as\nthere may be some situations that early warning still can\u2019t help prevent, such\nas extreme weather in the form of catastrophic hurricanes or blizzards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are two more business continuity factors to seriously\nconsider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>96% of organizations with a documented business continuity plan <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fully recover operations after an incident (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/phoenixnap.com\/blog\/disaster-recovery-statistics\" target=\"_blank\">fully recover operations after an incident<\/a> <\/li><li>75% of SMBs don\u2019t have a business continuity plan in place<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing Room Alert throughout your organization helps you\nproactively monitor the environment factors that will cause downtime, and acts\nas an integral part of your business continuity plan. You wouldn\u2019t run your\nbusiness without a firewall to protect your data, so why run it without Room Alert\nto prevent environment-related downtime and data loss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your organization doesn\u2019t have a fully developed and\ndocumented business continuity plan in place, NOW is the time to start working\non one. Not after an outage, not after hurricane season, not after rising\ntemperatures cause hard drive failure\u2026 NOW. If your organization isn\u2019t proactively\nmonitoring your environment to prevent downtime just as strongly as you\u2019re\nmonitoring your network against intrusion and your email against viruses, NOW\nis the time to install Room Alert to prevent downtime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t become another statistic among those we noted above.\nResearch business continuity to help protect your organization against massive\nfinancial loss (and outright closure), and take the steps to prevent downtime from\nas many factors as possible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business continuity is a topic we\u2019ve covered extensively over the past few years, as you can read in a few of our recent articles below: Does Your Business Continuity Plan Protect Against Above Average Rain This Spring? 4 Ways Environment Monitoring Helps Improve Business Continuity Business Continuity, Flood Monitoring, and the Hurricane Season Establishing a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[20],"tags":[50,139],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.4 -
