Nothing like a disaster to show you how important it is to plan for one. With the super storm Sandy wreaking havoc in the Northeast, many an organization is realizing that their disaster recovery plan was either out of date or even worse non-existent. Of course the lesson is a painful and costly one, but perhaps it will help others to better plan in the future.
I had a chance to speak with Rachel Dines, senior analyst at Forrester for disaster recovery and business continuity. Rachel recently published the latest in a line of analysis recommending that companies need to update their planning from Disaster Recovery to Technology Resiliency.
