BUSINESS CONTINUITY SOLUTIONS for Financial Institutions

How much does downtime cost? For global financial institutions, that cost can run into the millions of dollars per hour. More importantly, downtime (both planned and unplanned) can cause customers to turn to competitors, and with online interfaces for services and sales becoming the norm, an outage can damage your credibility and lead to lost business. While financial IT systems may require varying degrees of availability, the crippling business impact of an outage requires companies to choose how long they can afford to be out of operation.

Prevent Downtime

A crucial step to a company’s business continuity strategy should be a focus on prevention. A strategic approach includes an understanding of what can be done to continue the business without interruption. The critical infrastructure of a company refers to what keeps it running in a broader sense than just technology-people communicating, processes working, and receiving the right data from system applications are all such elements. From initial design through tested implementation, Dishari TechnoServ services are built with continuity and security as essential components. At Dishari TechnoServ, we work to understand your business first. Once we understand what your business deems as critical, we provide a Continuous Access solution that can be specifically designed to meet your availability needs. By bringing together services such as wireless access from leading service providers, Dishari TechnoServ network backed by some of the industry’s leading service level agreements, and highly secure Solutions Centers, we can provide Continuous Access to support and prevent downtime for your business operations.

Protect Your Business

While everyone knows it is people that run the business, it is the technology and communications that provide the critical data and functionality to do so with the efficiency, speed, accuracy and availability required by financial services firms. An integrated business continuance plan must incorporate all elements of a company in order to be effective should an outage occur. With careful planning and the right design, your business’s communications and technology can withstand a wide variety of planned and unplanned outages and remain virtually unaffected.

With experienced and certified security professionals, Dishari TechnoServ can provide the needed expertise and technical solutions to protect your communications and technology-your business’s Command and Control center. From solutions that incorporate monitoring and diagnostics for your network, voice and applications to data and voice protection, high availability and security services, Command and Control solutions from Dishari TechnoServ can keep your communications and technology safe and operational.

Respond Immediately

Even the best planning and prevention can still result in an outage requiring the disaster recovery portion of your business continuity plan to be put to the test. In the financial services industry, many companies have reported that even when the systems portion of their disaster recovery plan worked as needed, the people aspect of the plan can cause unexpected difficulty.

Dishari TechnoServ can help your employees and critical response team prepare for unforeseen difficulties that prevent the ability to respond to a company’s predefined plan. With an Emergency Readiness solution, Dishari TechnoServ can provide customized services to enable your business’ response team. Communication-with each other, customers, media, suppliers-could be the most important element of a successful recovery effort. In addition to providing anytime connectivity virtually anywhere via service provider’s all-digital wireless network, Dishari TechnoServ offers a wide range of communication solutions that can help keep your emergency response team effective and knowledgeable. These solutions range from making recovery plans available on a remote-managed, redundant site, to e-video conferencing and audio conferencing, immediate voice messaging capabilities, alert notifications and more. ❖
