There is no value in paying your staff to just wait
When staff are denied access to their office, a business rightly looks to recover 30-40% of its critical staff into a Workplace Recovery centre. This critical hub of key staff can then focus on the task of getting the business back to business as quickly as possible.
However, recovery ATOD shouldn’t mean that the rest of the business has to wait to get back to work. Its mobile workers can usually continue to work normally using VPN connections, but for the rest; you usually pay them to stay home and just wait.
SunGard Availability Services’ Recover Anywhere™ solution cost-effectively extends your ability to recover those staff outside the critical recovery-related group, to encompass the next tier of customer facing support. For example, the customer service department of an online retailer’s ability to get virtual access to their information and often more importantly their telephony can be the biggest factor in ensuring business as usual and continuous customer service.
