New telecoms continuity solution for North American market

Large-scale disasters, such as 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, captivate the collective memory of society. Yet localized, small disasters happen every day; a fire, a power outage, snowstorm, floods… somewhere, each day, five times a day, a backhoe digs up a phone line by accident. Every day!

Small events seldom attract national coverage, but they can and do have a devastating impact to businesses and small businesses are particularly vulnerable. However, many small businesses either do not have business continuity plans in place or feel that they simply cannot afford many of the tools that larger companies use to protect themselves in these kinds of events.

This needn’t be the case. There are many simple, sensible and affordable steps that small businesses can take to protect their employees and minimize the effects of disasters during the first 24 to 48 hours. Some of services that were once only available and affordable to large organizations have begun to trickle down to the small business world.

One such service is available from CallSureDR, Inc., a San Diego based spin-off of Voice Continuity Services, a leading provider of telecommunications assurance services to large and mid-sized organizations. The CallSureDR telephone backup and disaster recovery service forwards inbound customer calls on a find me / follow me basis to any of three alternate telephone numbers per incoming line. For as little as 47 cents a day, any business can now have the capability to conduct ‘business as usual’ when an emergency strikes. That’s much less than the price of just a single cup of coffee each day!
