1. Business Continuance Disaster Recovery Planning Preparing for the Unexpected Presented by Team TELUS and David Chalk of Chalk Media
Kevin to introduce himself and Dave during this slide.

2. Events that Require Business Continuance Solutions
Natural Disasters
Ice Storms, Earthquakes, Heat Waves, Floods, Hurricanes
Tornadoes, Avalanches, Pestilence, Drought
Infrastructure Disasters
Regional Power Loss
Water Contamination or Water Main breaks
Gas Leaks, Traffic Grid breakdowns
People-initiated Disasters
Terrorism, Sabotage
Organized Labor Strikes
Public Health
Pandemic

3. What would happen if…
A pipe burst and your office was completely flooded?
Replace technology and rebuild, how much time is needed? What is the impact to the business?
A fire in your electrical cabinet gutted your offices?
Recovery? Time, cost, how long are customers left in the balance?
A severe storm knocked out power to your call centre?
Recovery estimated at 24 hours, what does it cost the business?
There was a flu pandemic?
You can’t go to the office for weeks/months – what is the impact?
The effects of events like these can be considerable. In today’s environment, most business processes have some type of IT or human component. Every minute that a vital component of your call centre business is off-line can mean lost revenue and damaged credibility. Very quickly, customers start developing alternative plans that may not include your company if your company isn’t available. Recovering from that lost business after a serious disruption can be a tough, and expensive task. More than ever, organizations, of all sizes need a comprehensive, tested business continuity and disaster recovery plan for their call centres.

4. Some recent examples…
1998 Ice Storm in Eastern Canada – estimated 7 Million in damages and impacting over 250,000 Canadians
Summer 2006, Washington D.C., floods kept 280,000 workers home
New York power outage lasted a week - 80,000 people and businesses were affected
Toronto heat wave pushed electricity demand to record- setting levels in several regions, triggering brownouts, scattered outages – 50,000 people affected

5. And what about Customer Service…
One bad interaction will decrease customer loyalty by 66% and be remembered for months
Gallup Group
70% of customers switch to the competition due to service quality issues
Forum Corporation
95% of unhappy customers will buy again if their problem is handled quickly and to their satisfaction
What is the impact if your business/contact centre are unreachable?
This slide is to let customers know that they cannot afford to let their call centres slip in the event of a disaster!
By 2009 around 33% of Call Centres will be using a hosted ACD as a Disaster Recovery Plan

6. Would you ever think about not having Home Insurance?
Think of business continuance as insurance for your call centre…
You pay approximately 3-5% of the total cost of your mortgage for your house insurance.
Wouldn’t it be worth it to pay 3-5% of the total cost of your call centre solution to have the piece of mind that you have a back up plan in the event of a disaster.

7. Developing a Business Continuity Plan
Minimize Disruption of Mission Critical Functions within your call centre, create a plan for:
Agents
Customer Service
Retaining customer data
IT/Infrastructure
Minimize Financial and Operational Exposure
Enhance Customer Confidence
Let your customers know that you are ready for any disaster no matter how large or small.

Business: Backed by TELUS
CallCentreAnywhere is pre-integrated, so changes or moves do not require systems integration
CallCentreAnywhere adapts to your workforce no matter how many locations are required.
TELUS can set up CallCentreAnywhere so many locations look like one, or so each one has its own autonomy
TELUS stores and maintains the integrity of call center call flow logic, agent definitions and project definitions in network where these processes are safe and secure
Hostname / Agent Phone Mapping makes it easy to pre-define the host computers they log in to and the phones that they use. This is a “traveling profile” for each agent and supervisor
Supervisors can whisper coach, join and listen to any call from anywhere, even in exigent circumstances.
Alternate Workgroups and Overflow Workgroups can be defined ahead of time so CallCentreAnywhere can flow calls from one place to another seamlessly in case there is a disaster.
Complete “standby” call centres can be created ahead of time and instantly spring into action if needed
