Alternative Approaches to Recovery
Disaster Protection as a Way of Life
Access to important business applications and information from anywhere at any time. That is the primary value proposition of e-Accounting. Additional benefits include lower cost of technology ownership, increased security for the data and the infrastructure, and access to qualified support resources. But the key is access from anywhere.
The events of September 11 have reinforced an important lesson for businesses: disaster planning makes disaster recovery possible. Without planning for the continuation of the business - personnel, technology, data, and processes - conservation of a functional organization may be impossible in the event of a disaster. What would your business do if you were unable to access a primary business location? What if your computer systems were destroyed or stolen? What if there was a fire? Is your business built to withstand disaster, and could you recover quickly enough?
e-Accounting offers solutions and services designed to bring companies closer together. The very nature of these online solutions provides subscribing businesses with the resources necessary to recover from the loss of or inability to access a business location. The flexibility of being able to connect from anywhere Internet connectivity is available means that workers can login from home or from alternate office locations, gaining access to the business applications and data when they need to.
The physical security and backup power capabilities of the data center provide significantly more protection than is found in most businesses, ensuring the continuity of the servers and the network. Critical business applications and data are protected from virus attacks, and are regularly backed up and redundant copies stored in offsite locations. The network is protected, and the data is strictly managed.
Utilizing the workflow and "helper" application services available through e-Accounting, your business can implement a comprehensive electronic filing - or paperless - system. Storing paper files as scanned electronic images gives you the assurance that neither fire nor theft will cause you to be without the critical documents your business needs.
Build disaster recovery and business continuity into your business rather than viewing disaster recovery as a plan to put in effect only in case of emergency. Benefit from reduced costs while gaining the flexibility to work from anywhere, and know that your applications and data are safe. Take the step that can make all the difference for your business, and subscribe to e-Accounting online application services. We help keep your business running so you can work - when and where you need to.
