Following last summer's hurricanes and looking ahead to the snowy season, Kelser COO & CTO Jonathan Stone teamed up with Larry Selnick, SVP, Director, Treasury & Payment Solutions Sales at Webster Bank for an article on CFO.com about business continuity and disaster recovery. The article looks at how businesses can prepare for major weather events and other disasters from both a technology and banking standpoint.

Bloomfield, CT – Kelser and Datto asked their guests a simple question, “have you ever poured beer on your computer and what would happen if you did?”

Kelser VP of Professional Services Matt Kozloski returned to the MetroHartford Alliance's Pulse of the Region radio show to discuss disaster recovery and business continuity with Larry Selnick from Webster Bank and Jay Arcata from Halloran & Sage.

You trust Kelser to help solve your business problems and leverage technology to move your business forward. Similarly, we trust our Partners to offer us best-of-breed solutions to help us achieve these goals. That’s why we choose to work with the best in the industry and we wanted to applaud one of them, Datto, for their recent efforts.

“We’re really excited to start creating our disaster recovery plan!” Said no one, ever. Perhaps it’s not the most exciting project, but do you want to know what’s less fun than working on a disaster recovery plan? Working to fix a disaster that happened with no contingency in place. Just like having insurance, a disaster recovery plan is designed so that when the worst happens you have support, guidance and resources to correct the issue and move on. From a technology standpoint, this is essential for business continuity, and in some cases, compliance. One misconception about disaster planning is that it’s some huge gorilla of a project that requires significant effort and investment. The truth is it doesn’t have to be, and there are a lot of things you can do on a small scale that have a big effect.

The popularity of the Cloud is unquestionable, with the majority of U.S. businesses using cloud computing. But, with this increased usage, cloud-based Disaster Recovery (DR) has become even more crucial.
