Continuity of Operations

While e-business develops, the potential of operating failures increases as do denials of access to websites, loss of connections and poor response time handling. The most significant risk associated to e-business is possibly the ease of selecting an alternative supplier when you are dissatisfied with a certain service.

To manage these risks, organizations entering the e-business market must ensure "continuity of operations," which is the ability of business processes to adjust to or recover from changes, growth or disturbances in their operations.

Information technology (IT) or business strategy?

There may be the temptation of viewing continuity of operations as a purely technical issue, without realizing that technology is supported by and depends on a complex business infrastructure. Therefore, we must recognize this as a business issue.
