Document and Maintain Your Disaster Recovery Plan
Put your DRP on a diet – keep it fit, trim, and ready for action.
Book This Workshop
Traditional, 300-page “red books” have these flaws:
- They are not usable in a disaster.
- They are difficult to maintain, and therefore, are often untrustworthy.
- They sit on the shelf and gather dust.
Learn how to create DR documentation that:
- Is usable and effective during an IT disaster.
- Is maintainable and concise.
- Easily integrates with IT operations and IT learning and development.
