Make sure tomorrow’s copy isn’t about your business failure

In an industry with some of the tightest deadlines and project timeframes, many creative or design based firms often overlook the possible effects of a failure in the most critical operation of their business – the production area that generates copy, design, graphics and content.

This is partly because the trusty Apple Mac is so reliable, but even with reliable hardware you could still miss your deadline and threaten your business in what we call a denial of access to your office, your data and your telephony. And it doesn’t have to be a big terrorist incident that prevents your staff from working. 80%* of business disruptions are caused by mundane issues such as power disruptions, severed pipes and cables, floods, fire and health & safety issues.

Chances are you will experience a disruption?

70% of firms will have to deal with a business disruption at some time, and of those firms without a reasonable business continuity plan – a mere 8% survive**.

What would the consequences be for your business, if production couldn’t output the latest design or content? Deadlines and printing slots could be missed, customer and supplier penalty clauses invoked, reputations damaged, cash flows drained; litigation from clients whose campaign didn’t break on time. Eventually it could lead to your business closure.
