We’ve Declared Disaster Mode. Now What?
LINK TO JOIN
Many organizations were recently forced into disaster mode. For some the transition was effective, others lucky, and almost all were faced with making decisions at some point without the proper processes in place. Most of the time the front-line decisions are the organization’s focus. While we cannot always know all the answers and many times guess at the best approach, we can discuss key components an organization can put in place for a proper disaster framework.
This presentation will discuss methodologies to establish the proper framework and help ensure the background resources such as
- Emergency management plans for declaring a disaster, updating business continuity plans, and ultimately recovering from the declared disaster
- Successes and Lessons Learned:
- Clarifying “Essential employees,” getting them through the man trap, check-in, and other possible contamination bottlenecks, and pandemic challenges unique to data centers
- Potential risk areas associated with data centers

David Gillies | Enterprise VisionsTechnology Advisor
My overarching focus is in helping prepare companies for long term success by leveraging NextGen technologies, without ignoring their current reality. A critical aspect of that is helping customers understand exactly what they have (licensing/software/hardware) before they make strategic technology decisions that can significantly affect the company for 3, 5 or even 10 years into the future.
By representing several best of breed solutions that span industries from manufacturing to FINTECH, and medical (HIPAA and HITRUST), I am capable of being far more objective in helping companies choose technologies, as opposed to the typical single-threaded vendor/customer relationship.
The best part is that my expertise is free of charge so there is no risk to engage me, but my expertise could play a big part in you making a better technology decision.
