Rising costs of traditional recovery plans are among the top reasons that companies are not implementing disaster recovery (DR) protocols, according to a recent report by Forrester research.
But as technology evolves and data dependency increases, the need for DR plans has grown, as have the options available to Chief Information Officers who are running Infor. An emerging go-to solution is Disaster Recovery as a Service, (DRaaS) or Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery, which involves a third-party maintaining a virtualized copy of the physical data center that can be provisioned much faster than traditional methods, often within hours, in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.
DRaaS makes sense for Infor users because it protects critical business processes like those below:
Financial Reporting
Uptime of Infor’s financial reporting modules is especially critical in order to get financial reporting completed and submitted on time to investors, Wall Street and other stakeholders.
Payroll
Reliable disaster recovery plans are also top of mind for Infor users processing payroll. Accurately issuing employee paychecks in a timely manner are two of the most important tasks a business handles regularly.
Organizational Decision Making
In addition, executives and business leaders are increasingly looking to the finance department to play a larger role in supporting business and operational decision making. Any breakdown in that process due to application downtime can disrupt the entire organization.
Quality of Patient Care
For organizations relying on Infor healthcare solutions, application downtime can directly impact the safety and quality of patient care. Many hospitals count on the supply chain and procurement modules of Infor to ensure the availability of critical supplies including IVs, surgical equipment and sutures.
