Hi everyone,
We had an interesting week with all flooding that has happened in the Midwest. Many of our clients have experienced many kinds of outages during the last week. Some of issues were not water damage, but their suppliers having outage issues.
There are many questions that came out of floods of the Midwest. It really making people take a second look at their disaster plans. For years we having been telling customers disaster can come in different flavors. Luckily quite a few of our clients listened and had off site solutions ready.
The one issue many of you don't count on is, your providers would have issues because their upstream providers didn't have redundancy in their network. So in other words you have suppliers that have suppliers and if the chain breaks you will be effected.
Many customer ask the question about their current provider, but don't ask the questions of who is supplying them and what their network looks like.
Make sure you ask all the questions of your suppliers and also who is supplying them.
Regards - jack
