29 percent of Irish government departments have no business continuity strategy in place and have no plans to implement any in the foreseeable future, according to the latest study by iReach on behalf of Hewlett Packard (reports www.siliconrepublic.com).

However, Irish businesses seem to be taking the issue much more seriously, with the survey finding that 88 percent of medium and large sized companies have some sort of business continuity plan in place.

The survey also examined Irish business continuity spending trends in the next year, finding that, rather than concentrating on infrastructure, spending will be focused on people aspects. This includes both ‘readying employees’ for business continuity policies and implementation as well as ‘putting a focus on business continuity at a corporate level’.
