Modern corporations need to be in operation 24/7. To that end, detailed contingency and disaster recovery plans need to be developed and implemented. This Xtalks web conference examines contingency planning and disaster recovery programs for today's multinational business.

(PRWEB) November 17, 2006 -- In an Xtalks web conference on Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery, Gary Gordon, Head of Disaster Preparedness, Boeing and Chris Brown, Technical Evangelist, Infrastructure Platform Group, Sybase discuss how to minimize corporate risks through efficient planning and execution.

Modern multinational corporations need to be in continuous operation 24/7, but daily operations are at risk of experiencing a serious incident that can keep this from happening. Natural disasters, fire, pandemics, system crashes or security breaches can lead to outages of critical business infrastructure or key personnel, costing corporations millions in lost transactions and affecting brand value.

Contingency plans must not only cover all aspects of business, including IT, people and communications, but also suppliers and contractors. Individuals must be prepared to manage an organization's risk factors to ensure business continuity.

This web conference brings together business continuity professionals from a selection of major international corporations, facing differing threats to their business continuity. They will explore the key issues and scenarios that a business should consider in the development of contingency and disaster recovery planning.
