Beat the bad weather with a business continuity plan, urges Commsready

Businesses hit hard by bad weather keeping staff and customers away should implement a phone-based business continuity plan, advises Commsready.

Many companies are losing business as snow and cold weather continue to affect the UK, warns Commsready.

But with a business continuity plan in place for their telephony, they could keep their businesses working.

The latest inbound telephony solutions from Commsready mean companies no longer have to install expensive heavy-duty hardware and equipment to create a business continuity facility.

Inbound services from Commsready means companies can use a website to set up pre-determined call diversions that can be activated at the click of a mouse in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

There are no major capital expenditure costs, no ongoing maintenance costs and no issues around moving kit in the event of a crisis.

Inbound callers can be seamlessly redirected to alternative landline or mobile numbers that have been set up in a pre-determined business continuity plan. One click is all it takes.

So all your staff can work from home or other sites if your office falls victim to snow, fire, flooding or any other disaster. Customers calling in get the same availability of staff and service.

Commsready has already been seeing growing demand from UK firms for its disaster recovery and business continuity plans after the "big freeze" started at the beginning of this year.

"With pricing from £5.99 per month, there really is no excuse now for not having proper business continuity plan in place," said Commsready Senior Account Manager Will Burton.
