That’s the unofficial motto of the construction industry and even the most experienced Companies are often at a loss because of poor planning. There are times when you wonder if your Company is properly prepared; do I have the right tools in place to protect my business? Do my staff know what to do in case of an emergency? Do I have the protection and security I need? Hopefully your fears will never be tested; but as we saw with global events in this last year, accidents do happen. The key is to be prepared for when they do happen and to be smart enough to know what areas need protecting?
In Japan, earthquakes are much more frequent than in the US so building codes have been very strict. Hidden inside the skeletons of high-rise towers, extra steel bracing and giant rubber pads make modern Japanese buildings among the sturdiest in the world during a major earthquake. Likewise, your Company should always be prepared to deal with your own disasters; a loss of data could potentially set you back months, if not years. It’s important to keep your data ‘disaster-proof’ by backing up often even if it’s only for your peace of mind.
Jonas e-Backup makes sure that you and your business are fully disaster recovery ready.
In 1995, after the Kobe earthquake that killed 6,000 people and injured another 26,000, Japan put enormous resources into new research as well as retrofitting the older structures to be safer. Japan has spent billions of dollars developing the most advanced technology against earthquakes and tsunamis. How much have you invested?
Sometimes the cost of insuring your company against disaster seem daunting and unnecessary but it is an investment that pays for itself if something does end up happening. If you have all of your work orders and receipts in hard-copy (i.e. boxes of papers) then the risk of losing them is much higher than if you had those documents scanned, electronically filed and then backed up to an off-site server. To figure out how valuable your paperwork is, ask yourself where you would be without it. Jonas’ Document Management System affords you peace of mind while freeing you from paper
The biggest ‘lifesaver’ in Japan may have been the massive public education program which ensured that the citizens knew the dozens of escape routes scattered through the city. For the trained population, it only took a matter of a few minutes to get to high ground which meant the difference between life and death. Likewise your most valuable asset is your knowledgeable employees who know what to do in case of an emergency. Do you trust your employees to know what to do if your data is compromised? Take time to walk them through the steps they should take in case an emergency were to strike, you will both be better for it.
