Challenge

In Information Technology, we all know that we need to have a Business Continuance – Disaster Recovery Plan that will provide the coverage required by regulations and the expectations of the organization. However, creating, maintaining, and testing a Disaster Recovery Plan is a difficult task at best because it may be:

• Difficult to get started and keep on track
• Challenging to process “too much” information
• Hard to organize
• Time-consuming
• Frustrating, confusing, or boring
• Expensive or not properly budgeted
• Hard to maintain
