TIMBUS Survey on Long-Term Aspects of Business Continuity

TIMBUS Survey 2011 
https://intel.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_1LWzcs15h0TIiAk

  • Does your organisation need to retain critical business processes, information, documents or data over the long term?
  • Has your organisation struggled to retrieve and access 5, 10, 15 year old digital assets?
  • Does your I.T. infrastructure struggle to meet the requirements of your organisations record retention policy?
  • As part of your organisation’s business continuity plans, has your I.T. organisation struggled to reinstate the complete business systems and processes to a fully consistent state following a simulated or real disaster?

Most organisations face challenges ensuring the long-term accessibility of their digital processes and assets in the face of changing technologies, growth in digital material and increasing regulatory / compliance requirements while reducing I.T. budgets.  These challenges are being addressed by a European FP7 Research Project called TIMBUS and we would welcome your contribution to participate in and influence the direction of the research.
