Faced with these alarming predictions, many IT departments may be asking what they can do to keep their business functioning during a major disruption such as a hurricane. A well-managed disaster preparedness plan can help prevent costly downtime and reduce inconvenience to customers. Here are seven habits that CDW LLC (CDW), a provider of information technology (IT) solutions to business, government and education, advises organizations adopt to best prepare their IT systems for a hurricane or other major disruption: - Assess your current plan.

For example, processes that need to resume within 24 hours to prevent serious mission impact, such as call center and customer relationship management, shipping and billing or resource planning, could receive an “A” rating.
