Managing Risk Through The Mailstream

•White Paper: Managing Risk
Severe weather, power cuts, heightened states of alert, employee sabotage. Unforeseen events can stop your business operations with little warning. For board members, auditors, share holders and staff, while the importance of being prepared for these types of occurrences is undeniable, understanding how these threats can impact a business most is a different matter altogether.
According to the MI5, every year nearly one in five businesses suffers a major disruption to their operations1. Many organisations have plans to deal with disruptions caused by sudden commercial risk, such as the failure of critical suppliers, an unexpected bad debt, industrial action or the discovery of a serious fault in a product or process. And for many years companies have taken steps to backup key business information, creating duplicate files for back-up purposes. But putting plans in place to insure against commercial risk and safeguarding electronic data is only half the battle. Invoices, correspondence, payments and statements are the lifeblood of any business. Without the ability to send, receive and act upon the daily business post, an organisation would soon struggle to financially and operationally survive any lengthy disruption to their postal communications.
That's why many organisations are now developing business continuity plans to secure all of their information streams - and using sound business recovery strategies - so that organisations can effectively manage the risks surrounding their mail operations.
