Business Continuity: Practical Planning

Thursday, November 05, 2009 | 9:10AM–10:00AM | Meeting Room 707/709/711
Session Type: E09 Hybrid
This panel discussion will feature three IT professionals with experience in business continuity and disaster recovery planning. Natural disasters, changes to our computing environments (building new data centers), and evolving global challenges (pandemic threats) require us to ensure that our processes are in order and ready to be enacted quickly. This panel will discuss practical considerations for business continuity and disaster recovery planning, from drafting a plan and documenting critical steps to updating an existing plan to testing and executing the plan. The panel will allow ample time to answer questions about business continuity and preparedness.
