Prioritization of Business Functions Critical to Continuity Planning

Core news facts: Many businesses fail to identify and prioritize the essential business functions needed to maintain operations - especially in the face of disasters. To help companies develop effective continuity of operations plans, VIACK Corporation, an authority on secure collaboration in the workplace, has developed the following tips to identify and prioritize key business functions:

>   
First, identify any and all business functions for all areas of operations

>   
Next, determine which of these functions are vital to maintaining operations 's8211; the fewer the better

>   
If companies are client driven, they must establish which of their functions are critical to sustaining their clients's8217; operations as well

>   
Consider streamlining the remaining areas of operations and cross-training in order to continue key job roles in the event that specific staff members are unavailable

>   
Finally, ascertain which business functions can be brought back online first, as well as the timing for the reestablishment of the remaining functions
