**Business Continuity
**
As data and technology drive organisations more than ever before, we can no longer afford to complacent – business survival is directly linked to our ability to ensure business continuity. This is reinforced by publicly available research that shows:
- 20% of small to medium businesses will suffer a major disaster causing loss of critical data every 5 years.
- 60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster.
- 93% of companies that lost their data centre for 10 days or more due to a disaster dissolved or filed for bankruptcy within one year.
Disaster recovery and business continuity are no longer options, they’re necessities. This event provides a rare opportunity to gain insight to the global continuity trends from one of the world’s leading authorities.
