Guarantee Your Business Continuity With Replication & Redeployment
Published on 21/04/2021
Advancements in technology are creating a huge shift in the way we as end users are incorporating critical applications into our organisations. Locally installed on-premise applications which require huge financial and time outlays to purchase and integrate are being replaced with SaaS applications delivered through a third party hosting partner.
Whilst this provides many benefits to the end user, especially the time and cost savings associated with implementing SaaS applications and their potential to be more flexible, compatible and accessible, there are significant risks associated with SaaS applications which many end users may not be aware of.
In many instances, with SaaS applications any data associated with the application is stored by the hosting partner, making it very difficult for the end user to access and retrieve should the relationship between the software supplier and the hosting partner break down. Therefore, in the event the software supplier is no longer in a position to support the application, the software user has no control over continuation of the service and no access to their valuable data.
This data loss is often more devastating than the loss of service as without the data, the service cannot be accurately redeployed and is therefore rendered useless.
