At the same time, having IT systems recovered without restoring business operations is of little value. As such, a thorough business continuity plan goes beyond IT recovery, ensuring the overall survival of the business amid disruptions and re-establishing key business functions. Effective continuity planning should also address the potential loss of key individuals, disruption of customer or supplier operations, and failure of logistics providers.

As enterprises continue their digital transformation, the IT department is increasingly valuable. Much of that can be attributed to IT’s new seat at the strategic table and the growing perception that technology can drive revenue growth. Despite economic headwinds, we see only a slight pullback in IT spending.
