Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery-proactive recovery planning that's tailored to your business

Disasters are unpredictable and can be costly to businesses, however, their solutions for business continuity and disaster recovery can significantly diminish the effect of one. A credit union using Centurion LiveVault recently experienced a disaster and a staff member commented that Centurion LiveVault provided a total “smooth and seamless” data recovery. Centurion Disaster Recovery® planning is the solution to restore processing in the event of a disaster. This product establishes a redundancy of data that can be used to restore operations, and provides a “hot site” from which to operate. Centurion Business Continuity Planning concentrates on the information you need to restore all operations of the financial institution. No one wants to be involved in any sort of disaster, but the right recovery plan weakens the impact on your business. ProfitStars’ Centurion product family is exactly the solution you need to handle restoration.

Here is just one example of how ProfitStars has partnered with a client to help them facilitate their disaster recovery plan:

When it became clear that Hurricane Katrina, then a Category 5 monster, would indeed bear down on New Orleans and the surrounding area, a Credit Union's management team and board of directors activated their disaster recovery plan.  Although the disaster recovery plan called for the Credit Union to drive to Centurion’s disaster recovery site in Birmingham, AL, a lack of gasoline and available hotel rooms made that impossible. With the help of Centurion, they began processing from her motel room.  The credit union was able to process up-to-date balances and other account information without any interruption in service.

The Credit Union credits Centurion LiveVault with providing the online backup that enabled the credit union to continue business, even if “business” was located in a motel room.  “Because of all the craziness going on, I’m so thankful that work was painless. I could do the daily processing, and then get back to worrying about everything else,” says one member of the management team.
