The Relationship

Information technology plays a pivotal role in defining the success of organizations. Given its importance, one might assume that modern organizations take steps to ensure the recovery of IT services following disasters. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. To understand the variation in degree of IT disaster recovery planning, this research focused on those responsible for managing IT resources and IT directors. For the study, a survey was mailed to 337 financial service institutions in the southeastern United States. Over 150 IT directors completed self-assessments for measuring the extent to which their organization engages in IT disaster recovery planning. In addition, they responded to a number of questions regarding their work-related values, and over 63% of the variance in degree of IT disaster recovery planning was explained by two predictors: uncertainty avoidance and long-term orientation. Results show that firms with IT professionals who prefer to avoid uncertainty and who have long-term outlooks have more developed IT disaster recovery plans.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to address the problems associated with informatics and analytics projects that are developed in an “organic” manner. As such, this often circumvents formal project management principles and practices. The decision to do this is determined by organizational factors; however, even in an informal environment, ensuring that adequate disaster recovery and business continuity plans are in place for all mission-critical applications is vital to ensure the long-term survival prospects of an organization in the event of a disaster. Design/methodology/approach By adapting the principles and techniques of traditional disaster recovery and business continuity planning, an informatician can develop plans that integrate the requirements of their projects into a larger, organization-wide plan to recover from incidents and ensure continuity of business operations. Findings The use of disaster recovery planning and business continuity planning can help ensure the long-term viability of informatics and analytics projects within an organization. Originality/value Most business continuity planning is focused on projects that are formally developed and relatively large in scale. This paper applies these principles and practices to informatics and analytics projects that are developed informally and managed casually. Thorough an example, the point that more traditional disaster recovery and continuity practices can and should be applied in this less-formal environment is demonstrated.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Masih banyak orang di bidang TI maupun manajemen (baik akademisi ataupun profesional, terutama di Indonesia) yang masih belum mengenal tentang disaster recovery planning atau seringkali disingkat sebagai DRP. Mendengar saja pun masih banyak yang mengernyitkan dahi, “apakah itu termasuk ilmu baru ?”, “siapa yang mencetuskan ?”,”apa efeknya bagi lembaga atau perusahaan ?” dan masih banyak pertanyaan lain yang menggelayut di benak para profesional maupun akademisi.DRP sendiri yang nantinya akan menjadi sebuah rangkaian dari business continuity planning atau BCP, sesungguhnya bukan hal baru di bidang TI maupun bidang manajemen. Tetapi meski bukan suatu hal yang baru, DRP sendiri seringkali menjadi “anak tiri” dalam sebuah implementasi sistem informasi di sebuah institusi.
