Telecom Business Continuity and Disaster Planning

Teleconvergence offers two related primary continuity/emergency planning services:

• Telecommunications Continuity Planning deals with contingency planning for interruptions in telecommunications services.
•  Business/Natural Disaster Continuity Planning and Preparedness entails the ability to strategically deploy telecommunications and related technologies to deal with potential as well as unforeseeable and extraordinary emergencies.
• There are two additional articles in this section.

Turning a Business Contingency Plan into a Business Opportunity

Once you have such a plan in place, there are many reasons not to keep it a secret. You're now a stronger, more reliable strategic partner.  And if you plan with the opportunity in mind, you can offer your new capabilities to others in your supply chain at a reasonable price and at a reasonable profit.

This article briefly describes how a company can share planned telecom system excess capacity or redundancy to other businesses by providing them with telephone service.

Managing Risks and Opportunities

Prudent managers want to minimize exposure to potential risk as much as they want to maximize savings and opportunities. Telecommunications Risk Management deals with minimizing, controlling, and preventing potential costs.

Risk Management is included among our basic telecommunications consulting services because it applies telecommunications and related technologies to general business operations to satisfy business needs.

In general, Teleconvergence helps our clients reduce risk by

• Making recommendations that will last for years without major change and without becoming obsolete -- except by design.
• Helping clients prepare for the unexpected by introducing redundancy and additional system robustness to help ensure business continuity.
• Helping clients plan for both foreseeable and unforeseeable events.
• Helping clients negotiate agreements that allow for maximum flexibility and competitive services.
• Ensuring that wherever possible every contingency and option has a Plan B lurking somewhere.

We also try to balance those risks by finding opportunities to expand capabilities and even create revenue.
