Contingency Planning

Can your business afford to lose data? Too often businesses grow to rely on computer systems that are not prepared for the inevitable hardware, network, or other failure. And when these systems break, panic can set in immediately. The simple fact is that the majority of businesses that experience a data disaster will be closed within two years.

Fortunately, unlike many natural disasters, these would be disasters can be greatly diminished or even prevented through proper planning and regular maintenance. And at InterWorks, we can help your business by providing you with a cost effective contingency plan as well as server maintenance, and we can help you prepare for the non-technical disasters as well.

Contingency Planning and Maintenance
A solid contingency plan is based off of an accurate picture and knowledge of your computer systems/network. We begin most of our IT work with a thorough network analysis which identifies critical systems, points of failure, and the current status of backup and anti-virus systems.

Using this knowledge, we can help you create a plan to handle all sorts of outages, including major natural disasters.

Here are some services we regularly perform for our clients:

  • Network / Risk Analysis – To determine critical points on your network and any possible risks.
  • Contingency planning.
  • Backup / Server monitoring – A live person to check your backup and server status.
  • Antivirus / Software patch installs and maintenance
  • Capacity management
  • Install and maintain redundant systems.
  • Provide 3rd party analysis of your IT needs.

Disaster Recovery
If you have not had a contingency plan and you’re facing a disaster, we can still help. We can be your one stop shop for data recovery, restoring your network capabilities, and getting your business back on track, ASAP. And, we can recommend and implement plans to prevent and handle future disasters.

Small to Medium Businesses
If you have a small business, using InterWorks for your IT support makes the most sense. We have the ability to perform regular backups, monitoring, and support while maintaining antivirus software and keeping up with software patches, all while scaling the cost to the size of your business and IT needs.  Why pay for a whole IT department when you can pay for exactly what you need?

Medium to Large Businesses
Contingency planning with InterWorks is valuable even if you have an existing IT department. We don’t have to be part of your day to day IT operations to help set up your contingency / recovery plans. Our experts have years of experience in the field, and our services are often far more cost effective than hiring people with the same credentials.
Plus, being the outsiders looking in can give you and your business a unique perspective on your IT operations, including ROI/cost analyses.
