Business Continuity

Business Continuity is now regarded as a critical risk management function. Yet very few telecom operators have the right systems and procedures in place to deal with adverse event or systems failures. It is not economically viable to develop contingency plans for every part of a business. Therefore, managers must focus on critical services, together with the associated customer management processes.

Praesidium's approach to Business Continuity involves identifying key sources of continuity exposure and then mapping these sources against critical network elements, systems and operational processes. Once this process has been completed, Praesidium produces a Business Continuity risk matrix, which illustrates the potential commercial impact on the business.
