1. Make sure you use a telephony supplier that can deliver a network (hosted) DR plan via geo numbers. This will give you far more flexibility; speak to customers that already have similar systems in place.
2. Make sure you publish only 08 numbers and that no one can access the underlying numbers.
3. If your business is running multiple numbers for ad campaigns etc. Please Make sure that your DR plan covers all numbers (assess which are the business critical numbers and prioritise them first)
4. Have a number of DR actions within the plans, for example 1 could deliver to DR site 2 could deliver to homeworkers and 3 could deliver to mobiles.
5. Have web access and pin telephone access to invoke the plans.
6. Make sure your supplier has full access to your DR plans, in case of an emergency situation where you are unable to invoke them.
7. Store your system passwords in 2 secure locations.
8. Ensure DR plans are communicated to all relevant staff and practise running your DR plans quarterly.
9. Access how costly it would be to your business not to have a DR plan in place.
10. Make sure your supplier has appropriate SLA's to match your expectations
At Elite Telecom we provide our customers with a contact centre for any queries or problems that may arise. We use the Global Contact Centre Solution (GCCS) platform so that calls are directed to the right place from all over Europe. We can also host a contact centre for you so you can provide one to your customers.
Another feature of Elite’s contact centre solutions is disaster recovery. We have a number of disaster recovery call centres and contact centres. If disaster should strike your business, all of your calls can be re-routed to one of our contact centres which will save your business from losing money, customers and its reputation.
Every business has different requirements when it comes down to contact centre solutions and how they would like to manage their customer relationships. At Elite Telecom, we understand this because we use a contact centre for our own customers, so we are here to guide you into the perfect solution for your particular business, whatever size it may be.
Having a fool proof contingency plan for your business is the only way to be prepared; it’s as simple as that. Business continuity, disaster recovery, and business contingency whatever you want to call it, at the end of the day it does the same job and it does it extremely well. But what is it I hear you say? Well, it’s a lot of things, but most of all its peace of mind. You want to work in an environment you can rely on, even when things go wrong,
Benefit from disaster recovery plan
Whether its wind, rain or snow, you can trust that Elite Telecom can provide you with an effective, tailor made business continuity solution. Here are some of the features of a disaster recovery plan.
In line with our call re-routing solution to combat potential disasters, we offer a contact centre as a refuge to those of you who have fallen victim to a dodgy phone system, (obviously those of you who don’t use Elite Telecom for this service.)
We can save the day by explaining to your customers the situation and you can choose from our staff members who have experience in your area of business so your customer will receive added value of their help and input.
