  • Will your company's operations remain unaffected if a line goes down or a piece of vital equipment breaks? Can you prove it?
  • Do your service providers have a track record of 99.999% uptime to ensure your business continuity?
  • Does your Contingency Planning include built-in redundancy and automatic re-routing in the event of service interruption?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you must already benefit from CIMCO'S Business Continuity planning resources. If not, there's help to be found in the industry's leading redundancy and routing solutions, which include CIMCO's customized contingency planning services which include network and business assessments as well as redundancy and routing solutions.

At the core of CIMCO's effective contingency planning are a four different assessment services which help you detect telltale signs of network vulnerability and slow infrastructure performance. Assessments help you find ways to reduce costs, improve infrastructure and utilization and enhance your business operations. These assessments include:

  • Remote Vulnerability Assessment
  • Business Impact Assessment
  • Data Protection Assessment
  • Storage Assessment

With span class="CIMCO-name">CIMCO's Assessments helping you run your business effectively, there is another part of Business Continuity Planning that shouldn't be forgotten…proactively safeguarding your resource against the costly occurrence of technology interruptions. Your operations remain ongoing, and your data stays safe and secure when you opt for one or more of the following products.

netAssureSM

CIMCO's proprietary backup circuit service prevents Internet interruptions that can be disastrous to your revenues and aggravating to customers and employees alike. If your operations face the threat of discontinuity, traffic is automatically rerouted in a swift, seamless manner via CIMCO's fully redundant networks, thereby precluding any service gaps or interruption. When it comes to your business operations, netAssureSM proves that being redundant is a good thing

SafePathSM Alternate Routing

Comprehensive Business Continuity Planning must cover your voice services as well as your network operations, with properly weighted consideration given to both. SafePathSM is CIMCO's redundant solution designed with the voice user in mind. Should equipment break or an interruption occur, you'll never even know it as all calls will be automatically re-routed. While most service providers only offer alternate routing via Billing Telephone Number (BTN), CIMCO offers alternate routing by Direct Inward Dial (DID). Of course you'll receive automatic notification should an outage occur, but it promises to be "business as usual" as far as you're concerned.
