- Continuity,
A study conducted by Forrester/Disaster Recovery Journal found that only 17 percent of companies feel their business continuity program is very effective. And only 26 percent of companies say that their business continuity plans are updated regularly.
These are alarming numbers considering that, in today's business climate, internal and external crises directly affect an organization's revenue, reputation, business prospects, and, at times, their very existence.
To address this, MWW Group and Paratus, an end-to-end government/business continuity and crisis management consultancy, have teamed up to offer C³READY
