The ability of organizations in the UK to maintain business as usual during London 2012 is in serious doubt, with three out of four IT decision makers admitting that they lack total confidence that their continuity plans will be effective during the Olympics.
A study, carried out on behalf of Resilient Networks, shows that 97 percent of businesses believe they could not maintain ‘business as usual’ if telecommunications were lost – a third felt it would in fact be business destroying – and yet the research reveals that voice continuity is the main vulnerability within the contingency planning and remote working initiatives of UK plc: and it is a central plank of many organizations’ London 2012 business continuity plans.
The Resilient Networks study, entitled ‘Preparing your business for the Olympics: ensuring voice continuity’ and carried out by Vanson Bourne and OnePoll, examines current business continuity strategies ahead of London 2012 and analyses how prepared businesses are to handle incoming calls during the anticipated widespread disruption of London 2012.
