Independent Communication Solutions: The Key to Maintaining Operational Capacity in the Event of It Outages
If a company is confronted with a significant failure of its IT systems, this can lead to a complete standstill of digital communication and all operational processes. Regardless of whether the cause lies in an incident at the cloud service provider or whether the problem lies in the company’s own IT infrastructure or cybercriminals have paralyzed the systems through a hacker attack (such as ransomware): Depending on the duration of the outage or threat, the company’s ability to function and even its very existence are increasingly at risk.
Have you ever thought about how to reach your employees, customers, or business partners when communication via traditional channels such as e-mail, intranet, UCC (Unified Collaboration & Communication) platforms, or telephone is no longer possible? In this case, you need an independent communication solution that acts as an alternative channel and enables fast, company-wide communication. This makes it easy to coordinate the recovery of IT systems efficiently and effectively. In addition, employees and external stakeholders can be informed and provided with regular updates, regardless of their location and end device.
