Business continuity

A plan that names people, systems, and decisions, before you need it.

Typical timeline
4–8 weeks
Ongoing cadence
Annual exercise
Delivered by
ClearPath engineers

Continuity planning is mostly a business exercise with a technical tail. We work out which processes cannot stop, what they depend on, and who decides what during an outage, then make sure the technology matches the promises the plan makes.

How we do the work

01 · Assess

We run a business impact analysis covering processes, downtime, and dependencies.

02 · Architect

We design continuity strategies, including manual workarounds.

03 · Deploy

We implement technical prerequisites: redundancy, replication, alternate access.

04 · Configure

We document roles, call trees, decision authority, and communication templates.

05 · Maintain

We exercise annually and update the plan after material changes.

What the engagement includes

  • Business impact analysis with process owners
  • Continuity strategy per critical process
  • Technical redundancy implementation
  • Roles, call tree, and communication templates
  • Annual exercise and plan maintenance

What you are left holding

  • Business impact analysis report
  • Continuity plan document
  • Contact and escalation tree
  • Annual exercise findings and updates

Documentation is yours to keep, whether or not we keep working together.

You probably need this if…

  • A plan that has never been exercised, or none at all
  • Nobody knows who declares an incident
  • Insurance or a client contract requires one

How you engage us

Same engineers either way. The difference is how much of the ongoing work stays with your team.

Option 01 · Project

Fixed scope, fixed outcome. We assess, architect, deploy, and hand over with documentation. Your team runs it from there.

Option 02 · Most common · Co-managed

We own the design, the hard changes, and after-hours cover. Your team keeps day-to-day control with our engineers on call.

Option 03 · Fully managed

End-to-end ownership against an SLA: monitoring, maintenance, and reporting, with a named engineer who knows your environment.

Let's scope Business continuity against your environment.

An hour with one of our engineers gets you a realistic scope, a timeline, and an honest read on what to do first.
