Why do you need a team you can count on in a disaster?

Are all business continuity partners considered equal?

Business continuity planning protects what matters most to companies and provides a sense of security for employees, stakeholders and customers.

However, planning is a small component of building a comprehensive business continuity plan. One of the most important things a company can do in protecting itself is select a provider that is right for their business.

When selecting a business continuity and data centre partner, it is important to evaluate all criteria including location, facility, and the provider’s experience and track record. However, one of the most overlooked but critical considerations is the providers team and company values. At the time of crisis, you hope the provider will be a reassuring presence for your team rather than adding tension to an already stressful time for your employees.

Supporting your business during testing

Creating a business continuity plan is only the first step in developing a comprehensive policy – you must test it to ensure it covers all mission-critical operations.

At Interactive, we have made it easy for you to book in a test when it suits your team. We can provide different levels of testing, from a simple technical test to a full-scale disaster simulation. We pre-book a meeting with you to ensure we have all those details and are ready for you when you arrive. Your dedicated team will take care of all the heavy lifting. They will welcome you and your team and accompany you to the reception where our friendly staff will sign you in. Your account manager will then show you around the facility, so you and your team are comfortable for the entirety of the testing.

You will be introduced to your dedicated engineer who will assist you with any technical inquiries you may have throughout the testing. We ensure that we capture all the details of the test, including any risks, roadblocks and timings. We will then organise a post-test meeting to run through these details with you, for the purpose of improving and perfecting your business continuity solution.

If you prefer our high-availability serviced office solution, we ensure your day-to-day experience with us is just like you were at your own office.
