DynaSis IT Services Prepares Businesses for Data Loss and More: Business Continuity Plans Increase Survivability after Disaster

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 30, 2009

DynaSis, a technology managed service provider, is now offering business continuity plans to help small to medium sized businesses prepare for emergencies such as natural disaster, network crashes, or theft of business data. Unlike enterprises, many smaller companies cannot afford optimal in-house strategies and solutions. These companies are consequently at an elevated risk of being put out of business due to any major loss of data. A business continuity plan goes beyond offsite data backup and recovery and gives businesses a strategy detailing actions that will be taken after a crisis so the business can remain as functional as possible.

A key component of a business continuity plan is of course making sure critical documents and data are digitized or copied and stored off site, but the plan encompasses much more. Aspects businesses may not have considered include doing visual walkthroughs of facilities at least once a year to look for deficiencies, as well as making sure the business has sufficient business interruption insurance to cover the cost of operations for at least 60 days with no income. Other areas of concern consist of communications with employees in the event of phone system or Internet outages and creating a plan in case key employees can’t perform their duties or quit suddenly. Maintaining a list of emergency vendors as well as securing an alternative place to conduct business if the primary facility is unavailable are also details the plan would include.

DynaSis President David Moorman said, “Our goal is always to be a value added provider in the eyes of our clients. For this reason, we go beyond being just your IT repair guy. Protecting your data is half the battle, but when a crisis hits, you also have to think about what you are going to do to get back up to speed. What a business does in the first four hours after an emergency often determines how well they can bounce back.”

With 87% of companies that lose access to their corporate data for more than 7 days going out of business within a year and less than 5% of non-regulated businesses having a business continuity plan, and the need for business continuity planning services is real and the benefits to clients are immediate and long-term. Benefits realized after completing a business continuity/disaster recovery plan include competitive advantage, insurance savings, efficiency savings, improved processes, increased stockholder value and peace of mind.

Cloud Home Energy Service Revenues to Increase 30 Times in Five Years

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 12, 2012

The strategy of moving home energy intelligence into the cloud is disrupting the Smart Home market and expanding opportunities for the Home Area Network, according to global technology research firm ON World.

IP based home automation services, a large web-centric developer community and accelerating Smart Grid initiatives are driving adoption for home energy management solutions. By the end of 2012, there will be over a million managed Smart Home systems installed in North America. For some service providers, 40 percent of customers are choosing energy management as part of their Smart Home service bundles.

Widespread home networks and the ubiquity of smart mobile devices are key drivers for home energy management services, says Mareca Hatler, ON Worlds research director. Smart home service providers are adding real-time energy monitoring and cloud-based energy services that consumers are increasingly likely to access and control using their smartphones and tablets.

Compared with ON Worlds last survey of early technology adopters in September 2010, almost two times as many of the respondents to the current survey, completed in January 2012, indicate that they would prefer to use their tablet or smartphone as their energy display or interface.

Another growing trend is the development of set-and-forget solutions that provide effortless energy savings. Over 70% of the recent survey respondents indicate that automated systems that require minimal time/effort are an important consideration for home energy management products and services.

In 2016, global home energy management (HEM) revenues will be $ 4.3 billion and cloud service revenues will increase 30 times from 2011. Home service providers and retail channels will make up 57% of the cloud-based energy services at this time.

Based on 900 phone interviews and surveys with consumers, utilities, home service providers and developers, ON Worlds recently published set of reports includes the following:

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) March 5, 2010

A majority of Californians have taken initial steps toward earthquake preparedness but more than 60 percent of Californians have not done enough to make their homes safer and guard their personal finances in preparation for an inevitable, large-scale earthquake, according to a recent California Earthquake Preparedness Survey.

Although state and local public safety and emergency management agencies are better prepared than ever before, California residents have focused on easy preparedness activities such as collecting supplies and making back-up copies of important documents but they have not done more difficult and expensive activities such as securing the contents of their home or purchasing earthquake insurance, according to the survey.

Key findings of the survey were:
