IBM Business Continuity and Resiliency Services is a leading provider of business resilience, continuity and disaster recovery solutions, drawing upon more than 40 years experience in assisting clients to develop and implement their business continuity strategies and plans. As part of this service, IBM has completed thousands of engagements, large and small, on behalf of well over 5,000 clients across a range of industries around the world.
Most companies today are in a constant state of change through mergers, acquisitions and divestitures or organic change to keep pace with a constantly changing and competitive environment. A heterogeneous IT environment is almost inescapable. IBM’s solutions are tailored to meet the needs of today's multi-vendor environment, dispersed geographical locations and specific availability / risk mitigation requirements. Solutions are arrived at in collaboration with clients and are vendor-independent, practical, realistic and cost-effective.
Besides its expertise in business continuity management, IBM is able to integrate its skills in security, high availability solutions, systems and data management, network design and implementation, platform and data centre consolidation, machine room building and desktop infrastructure as well as platform and application knowledge. IBM also has industry-leading general business consulting skills ensuring that IBM is able to help clients understand and manage risk right across their organisation.
A client's long term continued success is our overriding priority and we are keen to find innovative and cost-effective solutions that help develop effective, end-to-end disaster recovery strategies, however complex or simple a client's needs may be. |
