Disaster recovery for the professional,
IT and service industries.

Professional services have unique business continuity needs.

Above all else, your clients count on you to be there for them, whenever the need arises for your professional experience. Joining Agility helps ensure you deliver on that promise, no matter what happens.

Agility recognizes the special problems a disaster can cause for service industries including law firms, CPA firms, IT & managed service providers, consultants and other professional companies.

• Highly-paid staff.
  Whether you bill hourly or by project fee, your staff is an expensive resource and you cannot afford for them to be idled.
• Critical deadlines.
  Business interruption can mean missed deadlines and high penalties for your clients, and potential legal liability for your firm.
• Sensitive documents.
  Clients count on you to maintain and protect crucial paper and digital documents.
• Compliance audits.
  If your clients are large corporations or government agencies, they are likely to require a business continuity plan, and may audit your compliance. In addition, Sarbanes-Oxley and SAS 70 audits typically include business continuity issues.
• Outsourced risk-management expertise.
  Most professional practices are small to midsized businesses without risk management or IT experts on staff.
• Technology dependency.
  Even though you already back up your data, without a functioning computer network and telecommunications, it would be impossible to conduct your business.

We mobilize on a moment’s notice. When you declare an emergency, we’ll come to the rescue with any, or all, of the 4 key elements of recovery: Power, Technology, Work Space and Connectivity. If needed, we’ll deliver a self-contained ReadySuite mobile office right to your own site. Seeing that mobile office in your parking lot makes a powerful statement to your clients, your staff and your community that you’ll always be there for them.

Even small disasters can be devastating. While everyone thinks about major emergencies such as Hurricane Katrina, California wildfires or the 9/11 terrorist attacks, there are smaller disasters that can strike anywhere. For example: a broken water main, a small fire, vandalism by a disturbed individual. Any of these could render your workplace and its vital operating systems unusable for extended periods of time.

Agility makes business continuity easy and inexpensive for professionals.
