Introducing Power Continuity to your business
The need to protect business critical infrastructure from power related problems has become a vital part of business continuity planning.
A recent survey performed by the Chartered Management Institute reported that 11% of companies that had a business continuity plan (BCP) in place needed to invoke it due to utility failure.¹

In 2006 loss of IT was once again the disruption most commonly experienced by managers with 38% of the businesses surveyed suffering. 19% of these businesses had experienced disruption as a direct cause of utility failure.
- 50 per cent of companies experiencing a computer outage will be forced to shut within five years.
- 80 per cent of businesses without a well-structured recovery plan are forced to close within 12 months of a flood or fire.
Power Protection in relation to Business Continuity is not just about installing a UPS. Protecting your business against utility failure or power related problems requires planning, detailed documentation and the installation of the right system for your business including the right infrastructure.
