Gap Analysis
Disaster Recovery Is A Business Risk, Not An IT Risk.
Does your Executive Leadership understand that there is no magic failover switch? Axiom starts with a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) but goes further to document your current IT recovery Service Level Agreements to ensure the organization mission… is the heart of an effective Disaster Recovery Program. Our BIA lays the foundation for your DR Program’s success by placing the responsibility for Disaster Recovery where it belongs—with your company’s Business Leadership. We then work with both your IT and Business Leadership to accomplish the following:
Identify Objectives
In undertaking a Business Impact Analysis, we first interview your company’s business team to identify their Disaster Recovery objectives, assisting them in defining the most essential recovery goals for protecting the financial and operational viability of your company.
Develop SLAs
Next, we work with your IT staff to develop realistic Recovery Services Level Agreements (SLAs), walking you through a user-friendly workbook that takes into account hidden obstacles, time-consuming tasks, and intricate network interdependencies.
Uncover Gaps
Once we gather this data, we analyze it to uncover any gaps between the identified business requirements and your proposed IT service levels. Then we review these gaps you’re your business team in order to gauge the gaps’ severity and potential impact.
Present to Leadership
Finally, we assemble all of the above into a simple, visually compelling, and easy-to-understand presentation that recaps the BIA’s findings and recommendations in a way that makes your proposed Disaster Recovery Program as persuasive, even indispensable as possible.
Axiom Consulting Group’s Business Impact Analysis includes exclusive DR planning methodology, builds on highly time-efficient workshops and Microsoft Office-based tools and templates, transforms complex Disaster Recovery planning into a highly manageable process—while helping you to secure the buy-in and support that you need from Business Leadership.
