Most disaster recovery and business continuity plans look good on paper.
They fail when production is on the line.
Common issues we see:
- DR plans that focus on servers but ignore production systems
- ERP and MES platforms becoming single points of failure
- Recovery priorities that don’t match operational reality
- Business continuity plans that haven’t been tested in years
- Ransomware turning IT incidents into full production outages
- Nobody's clear on who makes the call during an incident
For a lot of California manufacturers, these problems get worse when you add in earthquakes, wildfires, tight regulations, and plants spread across multiple sites.
When systems crash, you don't need a debrief. You need someone to make a decision and move fast.
