💥EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 💥 Struggling to sell disaster recovery (DR) to senior management? This article provides strategies for getting on the same page as management, including striking the use of the term "disaster," speaking about DR in terms of risk mitigation, and pointing management toward a specific solution. An inadequate DR plan can negatively impact your organization, leading to interrupted service, lost sales and revenue, high costs, potential supply chain disruptions, and damage to your reputation. To capture the attention of senior executives, focus on the benefits of IT recovery, such as gaining a competitive advantage, generating more revenue, addressing supply chain demands, meeting regulatory requirements, fulfilling service-level agreements, and meeting fiduciary responsibilities. Consider outsourcing your IT recovery process to lower costs and improve reliability. Regular testing and third-party audits are essential to ensure your systems and data are recoverable. By following these strategies, you can justify the investment in IT recovery to senior management and find a comprehensive solution. #DisasterRecovery #RiskMitigation #ITRecovery #SeniorManagement #CloudSolutionProvider
