How To Avoid An It Disaster: Could Your Business Continue Trading?

How to avoid an IT disaster:
Could your business continue trading?

I could write a lengthy article about disaster recovery but at BITS
our focus is on how to enable our clients to prevent that disaster in the first place.

We see this as vital because recent estimates suggest that as many as 90 of businesses that lose data from a disaster are forced to shut down within 2 years of the incident.

Of course there isn’t just the risk of data loss due to technical failure. The major flooding in the UK last year demonstrated a real risk for businesses in some regions. Sadly it often takes a disastrous data loss to make businesses take action for the future.

So what’s the answer?

Here are our top tips on how to avoid an IT disaster.

1. Ensure your back up routine is followed rigorously.
There is no point having a routine otherwise.

2. Make one person in your business accountable for the routine.

3. Test your back up routine to make sure you could recover data
if you needed to.

4. Ideally use more than one method. Back up methods are
more robust these days but there is always a risk of failure.

5. For example you could use two methods from the following: Tape back up external drive back up and online remote
back ups.

6. Ensure back up media is stored off site. Even if you have a fireproof safe what if you cannot get access to your premises after a fire?

7. Back up frequently. This can also come in handy if you’ve overwritten a vital file and want to restore an earlier version.

BITS can advise you on all aspects of data back up and
IT disaster prevention. Please contact us.

Custom Motivational Poster Printing

Motivational posters are those inspirational wall hangings that you see in almost every office. They contain a message meant to inspire encourage connect or cause a change along with a picture that relates to the message. Your company can design its own motivational posters to give away to clients. Imprint your inspirational poster with the company logo for a 24/7 display of your business brand. Custom motivational poster printing can be both easy and fun when following a few simple steps.

To get the ideas flowing gather some motivational posters. Notice the short phrasing the stunning photography the simple layout. Observe the different styles and decide if you want yours to be witty or serious.

Make sure that your digital camera is set to the highest resolution and begin taking pictures. Photograph anything that can be used for a motivational theme. Next choose the best photographs and write inspirational messages for each one. You may want to get opinions from others in your office to help you decide which ones are usable.

Using a template which most poster printing companies will provide begin laying out your design. Many inspirational pictures are framed in a black background with the message written in white text below but you may also want to try using the entire photograph for the background. In this case you may need to place the text inside a box to make it stand out against the image. Place your logo where it will not take away from the poster itself in the lower right corner for instance. Include a point of contact such as your website address phone number or email address.

Find a printing company that will offer custom motivational poster printing. You may even want to take advantage of a design team if offered. Just be sure to choose a printer that can provide large quantities at discount prices so that you are able to distribute them to every client.
