Understand your business recovery strengths and vulnerabilities, and develop plans to ensure that your organization remains operational and effective.
Many businesses struggle to recover and rebuild after a man-made or natural disaster. Responses are often costly and insufficient to restore the business to its original state. Without proactive, organization-wide planning in place, you may not be equipped to act quickly enough to speed recovery, minimize data loss and comply with regulations.
Until now, your business may have focused solely on IT disaster recovery (DR) management. Because most business leaders believe the only type of outage they might experience is an IT outage, they hesitate to spend the money to build organization-wide resilience that protects staff and suppliers as well as technology. But to support holistic continuity needs and meet “always on, always available” expectations from the business, companies need to develop and manage a cost-effective, comprehensive continuity plan.
Tools and expertise to meet your needs
Maintaining operations is difficult given today’s challenges with complex IT environments, scarce expertise and limited budgets. That’s where we come in. DXC Technology delivers a comprehensive set of cost-efficient business continuity and DR services that ensure your business operations will continue even when faced with sudden disruptions such as lost access to applications, data or even a key IT system.
DXC Continuity Advisory Services provide the tools, resources and expertise to assess your current continuity capabilities and determine your primary areas of risk. Our offerings and underlying advisory products represent a balanced portfolio geared to customers across industry sectors that desire world-class risk-management capabilities to address their critical operational, security and fiscal needs.
Our services — professionally delivered by a global practice of certified Business Continuity Advisory Professionals — target your company’s business processes, technology, critical staff and suppliers to ensure a proactive resiliency and sustainability posture
aligned with ISO 22301. Our offerings leverage the fusion process and delivery architecture and are integrated with the Fusion Risk Management Framework platform on Salesforce.com, a worldleading business continuity management software and framework system.
DXC has implemented continuity programs for some of the world’s largest and most complex businesses with impressive results:
- A manufacturer of water heating systems implemented a cost-effective DR solution to protect its IT-enabled business processes and significantly improve DR metrics. The client reduced recovery time objective (RTO) to 7.5 hours from 5 days and recovery point objective (RPO) to 15 minutes from 24 hours, while requiring only one DR rehearsal per year.
- Another client achieved compliance with stricter banking rules and, in the process, ensured a near-zero failure rate and faster access to data. In addition, the organization is now shielded from any negative impact through always-on disaster protection and high-availability continuity services with guaranteed DR.
An advisor you can trust
DXC serves as a trusted advisor, providing solutions aligned to your business needs and workload criticality. DXC’s solutions provide global support integrated across cloud, traditional IT and hybrid environments. Our approach gives you the following advantages:
- Low risk. Our client recovery center service contracts ensure strict limits on the number of clients assigned to the same leveraged asset. Our ratio of clients to hardware is 15:1; our competitors use much higher ratios, with many having unlimited assignments. DXC also ensures that the same equipment is not assignedto multiple clients within a defined geographical radius — something not offered by other providers.
- Innovation. We apply industryleading intellectual property evolved from extensive experience in supporting multiple industries, including manufacturing, finance and healthcare.
- Thought leadership. DXC advisors use their collective knowledge of the latest technology and approaches to develop continuity solutions that meet the specific needs of your business.
