Nobody likes planning for disaster, but what’s worse—creating a plan to backup and recover your software or losing millions after your servers go down? Your enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution is the backbone of your business, storing critical data and managing processes throughout your organization. When your system goes down, your whole business goes down with it. What can you do to protect your software and your organization from destructive downtime?
Our ERP consultants are here to help. Below, we list three of the essentials for protecting your software investment against disaster.
Few businesses have a documented and tested disaster recovery (DR) plan, leaving them at risk of facing substantial downtime. In fact, 49 percent of SMBs claim it would take three months to recover from a natural disaster and over 90 percent of businesses that have endured 10 or more consecutive days of downtime become bankrupt within a year. As these figures indicate, disaster recovery needs to be a high priority to keep these threats at bay.
Follow these guidelines to develop a comprehensive DR plan:
With a thorough DR plan, you can maintain business continuity no matter the circumstances.
Businesses place far too much trust in their software solutions, especially their cloud ERP. Sure, leading cloud vendors such as Microsoft Azure replicate data and include geo-redundant disaster recovery, but that still leaves some cracks in your business continuity plan. Cloud providers lack experience in restoration, and their backup costs can quickly skyrocket. Additionally, real-time data processing inhibits ERP solutions from fully backing up files.
To fill in these cracks, follow our tips to ensure your DR plan includes a robust backup strategy:
Cloud software offers a high level of security, but not high enough. Cover all your bases to protect your priceless information by developing a fool-proof backup strategy.
As you’ve probably realized at this point, a lot goes into ERP disaster recovery and business continuity. Few enterprises, particularly small and midsize companies, possess the internal resources and expertise to bear the heavy responsibility of protecting major IT investments. That’s why your best bet is to select a comprehensive DR solution that’ll take care of ERP security for you.
