Avoiding operational downtime is a major issue for all organisations, as the related disruption and financial consequences can prove catastrophic. Following the publication of a major new report on the subject of energy resilience, Tim Wynn-Jones, head of distributed energy solutions sales at Centrica Business Solutions, suggests that organisations need to start taking it seriously.
Time to get serious
These are uncertain and worrying times for the business world. While the threat from cybercrime, for example, is serious and widely recognised, it’s not the only issue that should be on the minds of those charged with ensuring their organisations remain operational at all times. In fact, security and continuity of energy supply is perhaps a more pervasive and immediate issue, and resilience should, therefore, be at the centre of any business continuity strategy.
