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.
