Disaster-Plan Study Finds Firms
Less Prepared Than They Think
By BEN WORTHEN
September 18, 2007; Page B3
One would think that after all of this decade's hurricanes, floods and 
terror attacks, companies would have adequate disaster-recovery plans. 
But there's a good chance they don't.
Most of the software that a business depends on -- everything from 
email to sales automation to the systems that process online orders -- 
runs on computers located in a company's data center. You would think 
that having a backup plan in case something goes wrong with the data 
center would be a top priority. And in fact, 70% of 189 tech leaders 
surveyed by Forrester Research Inc. said that their companies are 
"prepared" or "very prepared" for a disaster. But their practices tell 
another story, Stephanie Balaouras, the analyst who led the survey, 
says.
