Business continuity software survey

Business continuity software survey

A couple of years ago we conducted a survey into business continuity software usage. Much positive feedback was received after that survey and we are now repeating it to provide updated information about this subject.

This survey is completely anonymous unless you choose to disclose your name and address to us at the end of the survey.

A summary of the results will be published on Continuity Central once they have been complied.

Please answer as many questions as you feel comfortable with.
