BCP, DR, Credit Union BCP, Credit Union disaster recoveryWondering how to give your IT team an edge when working through a disaster recovery? Technology teams are ALWAYS swamped when it comes to initial recovery efforts – core processors need recovered, critical processes need verified, etc.  But if you want to know what you can really do to help relieve the stress during this time- this post is for you. We’ll walk you through the impact hosted virtual desktops can have on your Credit Union.

So what is one of the hardest and most time consuming recovery tasks during a disaster? I asked IT departments “If you could have one recovery task removed from your disaster recovery plan, what would that be?” I received a lot of different answers and the most common task that the boiled to the surface was pc desktop recoveries. With so many different departments with their own images and unique software it is hard to keep disaster recovery pc images up to date. Not to mention the updates and patches. This can become a full time job just maintaining the images let alone using the images to recover pcs.

Depending on how many desktop pcs and laptops that are damaged, you can spend days if not weeks just devoted to pc recoveries. IT departments are usually limited in staff resources to complete the recovery tasks needed during a disaster. Remember – they have to recover large infrastructure pieces such as the core or communications. Having help to recover your desktop pcs for all the different departments adds piece of mind and frees up resources to help with other recovery tasks.
