The impact of an unforeseen disaster on an organisation's ability to continue trading should not be underestimated. Having a tried and tested business continuity and disaster recovery plan in place has therefore become established as one of the most critical areas of concern for senior management in ensuring the ongoing viability and success of their business in the event of a disaster.

In a series of quick-fire sessions, eight specialist speakers provided attendees with an invaluable step-by-step guide aimed at helping them identify potential breakpoints in their organisations. Geoff Chandler, Account Manager at Document Genetics, presented a session entitled "The Paperless Office" which included details on Document Genetic's new solution ParetoPost.

ParetoPost provides a secure way to deliver documents to an end-user, and delivers documents quickly, securely and with a low delivery cost. Our solution suite can not only reduce your carbon footprint but can also turn your paper into electronic documents. This solution can then be included in your company's backup security policy which in turn creates an unbreakable business in the event of a fire.

The day ended with a tour of NetSupport's state-of-the-art business continuity, disaster recovery and server co-hosting facilities, including a tour around a mobile recovery unit supplied by one of NetSupport's business continuity partners, ICM.
