Disaster Planning!

Wow, what a tragedy in Moore, Oklahoma! Our prayers and support go out to that community of strong independent fellow Americans that have suffered property, physical damage and loss of lives.

After a tragedy such as this it is good to reflect on 'what if's', What if my business was destroyed? What if our communications was interrupted, no phones, no faxes, no email, no internet? There are many valuable questions to ask. Regarding business communications, if you use a cloud service outsourced online fax and phone communications setting up a temporary business location is quick and painless!

Cloud based services do provide a great level of disaster comfort should one ever need to relocate business temporarily, no online faxes and no voice calls will ever be lost due the built in delivery mechanism of email and voice mail. On the other hand, if your business facility housed it's own fax machines or fax server, and phone system, the disaster would shut you down much longer than if your communication services were cloud based. All you would need to be back in communication is internet access from any physical address. Using in house systems callers and fax senders would hear a busy signal, which could take weeks to rebuild these systems to operational. Consider cloud based communications as part of your disaster plan!
