Business Continuity and Crisis Management
The need to ensure continuity of service has never been greater. In today’s business environment, no company is isolated from incidents, which results in business disruptions. Business continuity is a critical component of successful business management. Experience shows that typically more than 50 percent of businesses without an effective resiliency plan will ultimately fail following a major disruption.

Accounts Direct’s Business Continuity and Crisis Management practice’s strength comes from its multidisciplinary capabilities across enterprise resilience, continuity of operations, technology resilience and recovery, supply chain and third party resilience, real-time crisis management, and emergency response.
