Agility on call to provide mobile office space, technology, within 48 hours of an interruption
Gila Corporation has enlisted Agility Recovery Solutions to provide a mobile office recovery in the event of a business interruption or disaster. The agreement also provides Gila Corporation access to Agility’s $35 million in technology resources.
“Having access to Agility in the event of a disaster is critical for our business,” says Domenick Riccio, CIO of Gila Group. “During our 16 years of business, we have never experienced a catastrophic outage, but we have a commitment to our clients, our employees and our partners. They expect us to be here for them, no matter the severity of the situation.”
If Gila Corporation is ever temporarily displaced because of fire, storm, flood or any other disaster, company officials will call on Agility to provide an on-site mobile recovery, which includes mobile office space, generators, computers, servers, satellite phones, Internet connections, desks, chairs, fax machines and more. Agility will have Gila Corporation operational within 48 hours of declaring an interruption. As part of its solution, Agility will provide technology to Gila Corporation in case a server or any other critical piece of technology fails during normal operations.
According to a recent study by Forrester Consulting, only 25 percent of businesses feel they are "very prepared" to recovery their people.
“The benefit of our recovery plan is that we’ll be able to recover onsite, anytime, with any and all of the technology we need,” said Gila’s Riccio. “Whether it’s a fire, flood or regional event, we’ll be up-and-running, providing a place for our employees to continue building the trust of our clients and partners.”
