Business continuity refers to how well your business maintains its necessary functions in the event of a disaster, such as your systems crashing, or your server being shut down. With digital business being a major focus for most companies, it is vital to ensure your business stays operational should such an event occur.
Our business continuity management solutions are designed to keep your company operating at all times, or if downtime is unavoidable, get you back online as soon as possible. Along with increasing productivity and team efficiency, our services are also cost-effective to save you valuable time and money.

IT Service Continuity Management
When you operate your business in the digital space, it is inevitable that you will be confronted by a disaster that affects your operations. This might come in the form of power outages, natural disasters, system failures, and other unexpected occurrences. These problems can cause issues with your phone lines, software, productivity, and overall working efficiency as you attempt to fix the issue.
When you work with Connected Platforms, you gain access to our business continuity services, which are designed to protect you and your systems in the event of a disaster. We tailor these services to each of our clients to ensure we provide you with the right level of support, no matter how large your business may be. Our business continuity solutions have one goal, which is to keep your business up and running at all times, and we achieve this through:
Wireless Backup
If your business’ phone service or internet connection goes down, it can cause issues with your operations or prevent clients from reaching you. That’s why our business continuity managed services automatically transfer phone calls and internet access to a wireless network in the event of a disaster.
Advanced Voice Solutions
Our business continuity management includes the ability to reroute and forward phone calls to a different number if your phone services go offline. We ensure this transition is as seamless as possible, causing minimal disruptions to your operations while working to get your systems back online.
Cloud Hosting and Data Backup
It is vital that you always keep your critical data and applications safe, even when disaster strikes. When you use our business continuity services, we help you avoid the risks that on-site servers pose by hosting your important data in the cloud to keep it safe and secure.
Data Networking
If a disaster does strike, our IT continuity management solutions ensure your data networking is kept safe and running. Our system offers secure, redundant hardware and brilliantly designed network rerouting to provide automatic failover.

Frequently asked questions
Your business continuity plan is created to identify the potential dangers that pose a threat to the operation of your business, while devising ways to avoid or minimise these threats. These dangers include break-ins, flooding, fire, accidents caused by internal or external concerns, and digital threats such as hacking and viruses.
If your business operates online, it is highly recommended that you use continuity management to protect your operations in the event of a disaster. This is especially true for big businesses, as prolonged downtime can cause serious issues for your productivity and income.
Keeping your business protected at all times is always worth it. The upfront cost of IT continuity management is worth the security it provides, as it has the potential to save you a fortune in the long run. A good way to calculate the value of this service is to establish the costs associated with the loss of your business’ core functions compared to the cost of implementing a disaster plan.
An effective business continuity plan should include the following key aspects:
- The identification of the scope of the plan & key business areas.
- Identifying critical functions essential to your business’ operational stability.
- Recognising the interdependences of each of these critical functions.
- Determining an acceptable level of downtime for each of your business functions.
- The planning and creation of a process to reduce downtime in the event of a disaster.
On-going maintenance and review of your plan to ensure that your plan remains relevant to your organisational needs.
