  19. Conclusion and Thoughts • Every company is different – “NO one solution fits all organisations” • Full DR/BC is more than an IT solution – Look at your business as well as IT • Use of tools supplied with your applications can make DR/BC cost effective • The final deployed solution will be based upon a consultative approach • As part of the process - understand your “minimum” IT requirements • Your IT supplier will need to understand your business and staff rolls • A good IT supplier will understand how the latest software and hardware can help you to look at DR/BC cost effectively and seriously • Take up references from organisations who use the recommended technology. • Always make sure you can carry out a “none disruptive DR/BC test” • Test and review regularly as your IT systems change over time – your DR/BC today may not be your DR/BC tomorrow. • DR/BC is NOT an install and forget it solution.
