Meet-The-Expert Singapore, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Strategies Seminar

The recovery strategies for any organization are closely linked to the business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) processes. There is a need to understand the BC and DR planning process and how an organization can optimize the deployment of both alternative processing capabilities with technology. In this forum, the speakers will share the identification and finalization of the recovery strategies options from the business impact analysis follow by an effective cost benefit analysis.
