ContinuitySA presents host of events to support global Business Continuity Awareness Week
Business Continuity Awareness Week (BCAW2013) is an annual global event that is facilitated by the BCI and will take place from 18-22 March 2013. As a Gold Partner of the BCI, ContinuitySA will be focusing on a host of events to showcase the value of business continuity as an integrated part of any organisation's strategy.
BCAW is an educational event designed to help people understand more about business continuity management (BCM), its applications and benefits. This year's event, themed: "Business continuity - for the risks you can see and the ones you can't", will provide new opportunities for interested parties to engage with experts around the world and learn more about BCM and the ever growing range of risks that need to be planned for.
The BCI and its partners will be publishing new research and papers throughout the week. Through a series of Webinars, interested parties can engage with authors on these reports. The Webinars can be viewed live and questions could be asked or watched online at one's leisure.
This year, ContinuitySA will be presenting the following Webinars:
Webinar oneon sensible ICT protection and recovery methods will be presented by Bradley Janse van Rensburg - Solutions Design Manager, ContinuitySA.
Overwhelmed by the muddle of conflicting technology terms, jargon, buzzwords and misinformation, CIOs and IT managers are finding it increasingly difficult to objectively compare the different ICT protection and recovery methods available to them and pick an approach that both matches their existing requirement and empowers their long-term strategy. In this Webinar, ContinuitySA will clarify the difference between high availability, replication, backup and archiving, and give a recommended approach to entrench resilience into ICT systems and business.
