5 Strategies to Initiate Disaster Recovery Planning

“If it’s stored in the cloud, it’s protected.”

While you know this isn’t true, your customers may not. This false assumption leads them to forgo backup or disaster recovery under the pretense that their data and critical IT systems are safe because it is not stored in a physical location.

The result? They are now far more vulnerable to a host of threats, from ransomware attacks to system failures, all of which could result in data loss and downtime.

As a managed services provider, your challenge is proving to your customers that an investment in disaster recovery is essential before they lose crucial data or IT infrastructure. Doing so can be difficult, but once you demonstrate the business value of a disaster recovery plan, you can better protect your customers while growing your business.

In this eBook, we’ll discuss strategies to start the disaster recovery conversation as well as solutions that can improve your disaster recovery service offerings. Using the tips laid out in this eBook, you can have better conversations with your key stakeholders and decision-makers about creating a disaster recovery plan.
