Can your organization recover from disruption?

September 14, 2018 by sisllc

White Paper – The State of IT Resilience 2018

SITUATION OVERVIEW

IDC estimates that as many as 50% of organizations could not survive a disaster event. Many organizations do not have properly protected and staged offsite data, have not tested the DR environment, or do not have automated DR processes as part of IT Resilience Reportdocumentation and planning.  The reasons for this are complex, but principal among them are typically cost, time, and training.  IDC’s Worldwide Business Resilience Readiness Thought Leadership Survey uncovered several statistics illustrating the business impacts of disasters and data loss and how organizations are currently prepared to respond:

  • 93% of respondents have experienced tech-related business disruption in the past two years. The fact remains that data disruption happens, and the negative impacts can be significant. Of those respondents who experienced a tech-related disruption, 17% categorized the disruption as “severe” — the highest choice on a scale of “no impact” to “severe.” The impact of these disruptions varied, with employee overtime and loss of employee productivity being the two most common consequences (see detailed list in Figure 1). …

Consequences of Tech-Related Business Disruptions Vary in Severity

  • 83% of respondents have experienced some type of business disruption in the past two years. Further complicating matters, businesses face a range of disruptive factors beyond just disasters. Many disruptions are because of new technologies, new products or services, disruptive competitors, or new business models. ..

Business Disruptions Occur Because of Variety of Reasons

  • 55.2% of respondents believe their data protection requirements will be more complex in the coming years. Respondents will face pressure to cost effectively manage the complexity associated with data availability. More than half of the respondents still manage their DR schemes in-house, without any third-party assistance….

Disaster Recovery Schemes Managed In-House will increasingly burdensome

Why Is IT Resilience Critical to Operations in the Digital Business Era?

Over the past 50 years, the average life span of S&P 500 companies has shrunk from around 60 years to closer to 18 years. To survive, companies have to be digital transformers while also managing the data required for new business initiatives. IDC estimates that worldwide spending on digital transformation technologies will expand at a CAGR of 17.9% by 2021 to more than $2.1 trillion.  This surge in digital transformation–based spending will drive adoption of public cloud/multicloud storage along with on-premises systems to harness massive amounts of business-related data.  If organizations are not prepared to manage and protect this data in a resilient manner, they are effectively putting the business at risk.
