SAP & Business continuity
When your organisation has successfully implemented SAP, the business lines will more and more depend on the reliability of the SAP environment and its data. To safeguard the continuation of your business, even when a single serious unexpected event happens and your key processes and resources become inaccessible, you want to be prepared. You need a sound and proven business continuity plan that extends to all your mission critical functions.
Why Deloitte?
Since the nineties, Deloitte has developed a sound, practical and proven approach to put valuable business continuity management in place to effectively safeguard your future. After we establish the scope to clearly identify the mission critical functions and related processes and resources, we adopt an approach that assures cost-effective continuity of critical business processes. Rather than reaching for the sky, our approach balances investments and recurring costs with the accepted level of risk:
- Optimise the time-between-failures by making critical components of your SAP environment and the ICT infrastructure resilient to identified threats. This may extend to the associated processes and the services from external providers
- Optimise the time-to-detect in case of a failure by establishing monitoring processes at the respective levels, both end-to-end at critical points
- Optimise the time-to-restore minimum functionality by ensuring that alternatives or work-arounds and the right level of stand-by infrastructure are available
- Optimise the time-to-resume normal operations by establishing switch-back processes to return to business as usual.
We help develop a sound data replication and transaction commit strategy, an optimal data centre location policy and a implementation plan for business continuity and emergency procedures.
