As organisations diversify how and where they deliver customer service and consume technology, this creates new risks associated with managing the availability and recoverability of these services, both during normal operations and when an incident occurs. The next generation of Operational Resilience services from Daisy, underpins the requirement for Always on Infrastructure, which is essential in the digital age. Daisy has evolved the traditional, reactive Operational Resilience & IT Disaster Recovery services, re-inventing them to proactively address these new risks and meet increased customer expectations arising from the digital economy.
Day to day benefits from your Workplace Recovery
Traditional Workplace Recovery solutions provide replacement offices within 24 hours, for a few critical employees only, in the event that their primary workplace is not available following a disaster. Daisy’s next generation of Workplace Recovery not only accommodates these critical teams seamlessly within just a few minutes of a disaster, it also leverages our operational resilience infrastructure to improve availability and agility for your entire workforce, day to day.
Crucially, we’ve boosted the scope and support of our traditional services to deliver recoveries within the same business day. This means your investment goes beyond basic ‘disaster insurance’ and evolves into day to day service availability. We’ve used the latest technology to seamlessly power and connect critical users in our workplace centres to those users asked to work from home, recovering more of your staff and at a lower cost. To ensure you get value from your Operational Resilience investment, we have empowered you to cope with peaks in demand, project work and training by making workplace facilities available even when there’s no disaster.

Because our customers’ needs are changing, Daisy’s ‘Always on Infrastructure’ approach enables you to transform and thrive in the digital economy.
- A digital business needs to be available to customers, 24/7
- Availability and responsiveness of customer facing services define the digital experience
- Consumers have a wide choice of global suppliers at their fingertips and can change quickly
- Social media provides immediate and uncensored outlets for customer concerns and dissatisfaction
- Confidence to deliver highly available goods and services through reliable technology and customer contact centres, manned 24/7, becomes critical to success
- Local alternative workplaces, pre-equipped and familiar, are a requirement for peak times, not just in a disaster scenario
- The need to cater for extreme weather events requires an integrated home working solution
- Peak trading periods can demand support capability many times in excess of the norm
- The digital business needs to evidence SLAs and the ability to meet regulatory compliance and satisfy internal and external stakeholders
