Kirkintilloch Today has reported that East Dunbartonshire Council had to invoke its business continuity plan this week after network problems left many council workers locked out of the central computer system. Chief executive Sue Bruce told the newspaper: "There is no doubt that this has been a challenging week for staff and has been a concern to elected members, but I believe that we have managed to prevent disruption to customers using frontline services. We have also found temporary IT solutions in offices to ensure that work is prioritised, deadlines are met and disruption to all services is minimised. This is the first test of our business continuity plan. We will of course learn from this experience to make us increase our resilience in future."

KBC Peel Hunt, a London-based investment bank, has implemented a fully managed, integrated business continuity and voice recording system from GemaTech which provides seamless voice communication, whilst also enabling trading floor telephone conversations to be used as definitive court evidence in the case of dispute resolution. Initially, KBC Peel Hunt was looking for a business continuity system that would instantaneously and seamlessly recover 100 percent of its incoming calls and intelligently re-route them to alternative numbers. However, it soon realised that further commercial advantage could be obtained by combining a digital voice recording module with a business continuity solution and then extending the service throughout the whole company including its trading floor. FSA regulations demand that all trading floor telephone conversations are recorded to document customer interactions for verification and compliance purposes, and in the case of dispute resolution, to provide definitive court evidence.
