Disaster Recovery Planning

Disaster Recovery Planning

Disaster recovery

Recent research confirms that 20 per cent of all organisations will be hit by a significant, unplanned event every five years: floods, fire, powercuts or transport problems can all have a major impact on the smooth running of your business, especially your communications systems.

You may well think it will never happen to you. But it can, it will and it does. You need to be prepared. And that’s why Call Portal has introduced a business disaster recovery initiative, so you can remain trading no matter what catastrophe hits.

Fire, flood, terrorist threat or power failure can all result in your phone lines going down. Transport problems and bad weather can leave you stranded away from your operations base.

Call Portal are specialists in telecoms disaster recovery planning. Our aim is to identify potential threats to your systems and set up measures which will minimise the impact if the threat ever becomes reality.

We will work with you to create a business recovery plan, incorporating your specific requirements, and then stage a ‘test disaster’ to ensure that our Call Portal "Safety Net" system works for you.

Call Portal’ remote operation system can redirect as many as 4500 calls to mobile phones or to our wholly owned Call Portal call centre at any one time, so your day-to-day business communications can continue as normal. And if you do have a crisis, calls will be diverted to key personnel via their mobiles or handled by our call centre at just 50p per call.

All it takes for complete peace of mind is a one-off membership fee of £500 and a £10 monthly retainer – but addressing this key problem area could significantly reduce your insurance premiums, usually by considerably more than the cost of the solution.

Disaster Recovery : The Solution

Call Portal Ltd design complete disaster recovery plans for all telecom related areas of your business.

All of our solutions are deployed on high availability platforms connected directly to central points of presence within the UK telecom network.

How does it work?

Every disaster recovery plan is design specifically for your business and will mirror your current everyday PBX set-up as near as possible.



The telecom business continuity service from Call Portal Ltd is simple, there are 3 easy steps to set-up and usage:

Step 1 - Design

The 1st step is to "map" out who does what within your business - For example Jeff and Paul both work in sales, Hannah, Ed and James all work in technical support, Richard works in accounts and Donna handles all general calls on reception.

Step 2 - Deployment

Once we have the above information we build a service within our network that matches your current working.

In relation to above the service would perform the following - Welcome to abc Ltd, you now have 4 choices, if your call is sales related please press 1, if your call is support related please press 2, if your call is accounts related press 3 and for all general calls please press 4.

Once the caller has made their selection we would then route the call to the mobile number of the appropriate person, they would answer the call normally but have the option to transfer the call to others within the organisation.

Features available while in DR mode are as follows:

1. Audio announcement (Welcome to abc Ltd)

2. Auto Attendant (Please press 1 for sales, 2 for accounts etc...)

3. Call queuing (We will now route your call, we then play music/ provide announcements of your choice)

4. Route call based on skill level (If a selection of sales has been made by the caller then we will try staff within the sales department 1st)

5. Call transfer facility (We give you the ability to transfer calls between other users, even if calls have come through to the staff member via their mobile)

6. Voicemail (We provide voicemail if calls can't get answered or if the wait time is to long, voicemail is then retrieved by either dialing into the service, or we can despatch voicemail's as attachments within an email)

7. Call recording (We can record all calls so that you have a record of the conversation, depending in which version you purchase)

8. Live call statistics (We provide live statistics via the web, depending on which version you purchase)

Step 3 - Calling us into action

In the event of your telephone system or lines going wrong we aim to have you in "business continuity mode" within around 5 minutes. You can activate the service via the phone, web, email, text or fax. Once your instruction is received we will activate the service immediately so that your customers do not have any disruption.
