How well is your business equipped to deal with the unexpected?
Computerworld reported just last week: “corrections staff were unable to access the department’s core system… after a failure of Citrix services caused by a database connection issue”. In this instance, corrections staff were well equipped to deal with the event. Staff were still apple to access key data via laptops and hybrid computers, despite their desktop PCs being shut out of the system. Additionally, staff were able to use the time to carry out other tasks and there were no reports of impact on services. If faced with such an event, are you and your staff well equipped to react swiftly and take the correct actions?
