- 03 Dec, 2018
As the winter approaches, the weather-related interruptions are recurring. Is your business ready?
If you are a business owner who receives important calls (for example, financial institutions and healthcare organizations), it is very important that you have a system that can retrieve data after any sudden disasters to ensure your business continuity. An alternative plan is not only for natural disasters like hurricanes, fires, and winter storms but also anything unexpected can disrupt your business!
What is disaster recovery?
A disaster recovery system is a system that allows your company to maintain the quality of your communications despite power outages, telephone, Internet or other business disasters.
Why Do I Need to Have a Disaster Recovery Plan?
On average, it takes at least days or weeks to recover a business disaster. Many companies think they can afford small phone line outage and leave their phones unprotected. Nevertheless, even small outage could potentially cost your company major amounts.
When your company’s primary customer interaction channel is down, this not only will affect your current businesses but also damage your permanent reputation and credibility. Therefore, having a reliable plan will keep you from losing businesses and your reputation.
the Recovery system detects the issue in your own phone system and automatically takes over as your primary phone system during an outage at your business. Calls will be rerouted to designated cell phones, landlines, or other desired locations. They also provide all the features and functionality of On-premises business communications phone system, including:
-
Unlimited voicemail

Email delivery of voicemail
-
Customized call routing
