What could go wrong?

Best to be prepared

 

Disaster Recovery

 

Every business should have a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) in place, to be prepared for

1. Common events: computer or internet failure; virus or malware; important staff suddenly leaving, becoming incapacitated, or going rogue; flood or fire damage; theft; suppliers ceasing to trade.


2. Uncommon events: earthquake, pandemic, war, politics (eg Brexit)

Small companies may not bother doing this in full -- that's up to you. But one area we can advise on is
"What happens if ABC Software stops trading?"
Relax! This is one part of your DRP that should not have critical impact on your business. And we have even prepared a guide and support if you need to transfer to another software company.

ABC Software

If ABC Software suddenly stops trading.....

1. Immediate or short term there should be no effect on your business operations.


2. Longer term, you should have months or even years to find an alternative software solution, and transfer your data.

Explanation:

The ABC Accounting and Payroll software is completely local to your computer(s). You are not reliant on the internet or Cloud storage to use ABC. Your licence to use ABC does not expire. So if ABC Software company disappears, this would have no immediate effect on your business.

An exception to this might be if ABC Software can't provide support immediately after an update that contains a fault. To mitigate against this, we have a Roll-Back option that allows you to revert back to the previous version of ABC.
