The Caribbean is the location of choice for many organizations. However, the risk of devastating tropical storms as well as other natural and man-made threats require organizations to protect their most important assets. If disaster struck your organization, where would you go? What would you do? How quickly would you be able to resume services to your clients?
DRC - Keeping your business going
For over 11 years, the Deloitte-managed Disaster Recovery Centre (DRC) has been a premier disaster recovery facility in the Caribbean and is designed to protect your people, secure your critical systems and data, and maintain the continuity of business operations.
The DRC employs the latest technology and facilities to help companies resume essential business functions and IT processes in case of a disaster.
