Mitigating Risk: How an Effective Enterprise
Risk Management Framework can Improve the
Outcome of Your DR/BC Planning
Paulette Hradnansky,
Senior IT Director, Home and Networks Mobility, Motorola
Catastrophes over the last several years have
caused most organizations to reassess their
investments in Disaster Recovery and Business
Continuity Planning. Some organizations may

too little. By taking a risk-management

professionals can determine what minimum
countermeasures and response procedures are
vital to meet your organization's business
needs.

their investment in countermeasures and response
procedures is correctly aligned with the
potential impact of catastrophic disasters or
disruption.

How to design an effective risk management
framework in the context of business
continuity planning

Ensuring Business Continuity:
Recommendations for Recovering Quickly from PC
Disasters
Jamie Cerra, Senior Systems
Engineer, Persystent Technologies
IT organizations have
traditionally focused on improving insight and
control over their company's core server and
network infrastructure. Today, that focus is
broadening to include personal computers (PCs),
which are, arguably, an organization's most
important employee productivity tool. When
computers are down, so is business productivity
and continuity. How can IT help end users to
recover quickly from PC disasters that occur
either in house or offsite?
In this session, attendees
will learn more about:
-
The cost of supporting
and replacing PCs and how to reduce those
costs
-
Trends and new scenarios
in end user computing
-
A three-pronged approach
to ensuring PCs are always available and
fully functional
