Business Continuity
Contingencies whether natural or man-made can occur any hour and at any moment. In the face of unforeseen emergencies, IPAT TECHSOLUTION posses the right resources and practices for disaster recovery, business continuity and maintaining critical business functions. We have activated a comprehensive Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity (DR&BC) Plan, based on the need to protect professional staff, computing infrastructure and intellectual property.
The DR&BC Plan at IPAT TECHSOLUTION has been strategically structured and rigorously tested to handle any kind of emergency, including calamities such as earthquakes, floods and unrests or business obstructions like fire and power failures. We regularly update clients, suppliers and stakeholders about our DR&BC Plan and make them aware of the measures taken at IPAT TECHSOLUTION to avoid emergencies. The Plan comprises of the following components:
Alternate Facilities
IPAT TECHSOLUTION has formed associations with various institutions in the vicinity of our Noida office. In the event of our office being affected by any calamity, we can immediately move people to a safe location and carry on with the clients work without any interruption.
Our promoters are the owners of a very large business group, having offices in all the major cities in India. We have formed agreements with them for sharing their premises and other resources to ensure vital customer services are provided even in the event of a disaster.
IPAT TECHSOLUTION also provides remote and secure access of essential data, records, projects and additional resources to the staff. This facility enables them to work from their home or any other location.
