Business continuity is vital to business success. And in today's interconnected world, virtually every aspect of a company's operation is vulnerable to disruption. Some risks could take your business offline for days, but in a competitive environment, even four hours of downtime could prove fatal. As the number of risks to businesses increases, the worst-case scenario "insurance policy" approach to business continuity has become woefully inadequate.

But how do you determine the resiliency and recovery requirements of your business? How do you identify and integrate critical business and IT priorities into a comprehensive continuity and resiliency program? Where do you start?

IBM Business Continuity and Resiliency Services helps ensure the continuity of business operations and assists with regulatory compliance, improved systems availability, protection of data, and the integration of IT operational risk management strategies. Our services take you from planning and design through implementation and management, with a strong commitment to understanding your ever-changing business requirements.

Comprehensive services tailored to your business resilience needs
The business continuity and resiliency services portfolio includes:

• IBM Resiliency Consulting Services - helping you assess, design, plan, implement and test your resilient business infrastructure
• IBM Managed Resiliency Services - providing you with a wide range of proactive and event-driven managed services to meet your recovery time and recovery point objectives in the event of a disaster
• IBM Information Protection Services - enabling you to quickly back up, restore and archive critical data, information and systems on demand
• IBM Infrastructure Recovery Services - helping you recover IT and business infrastructures including work areas from disruptions to reduce costs and timeframes

IBM provides a wide range of proactive and event-driven managed services, so you can select capabilities based on the criticality of your data and processes, including lower-cost options. By managing and operating these services for you—either fully or partially—IBM can enable you to balance workloads, lower application and system downtime, and reduce data loss. At the same time, IBM can help you to avoid capital expense, monitor and manage operational expenses and service levels, and reduce the burden on your IT staff.
