When You Become a Member

A continuity planner will contact you and gather the info we need to recover your business if you have a disaster. e.g.

• How many critical employees need to be up and running?

• What are the power requirements of the office?

• Where do you store your data?

• How do you want your phone calls handled during a disaster?

When You Have A Disaster

• Agility’s operations team works with you to determine your needs.

• You only pay for Agility’s out‐of‐pocket expenses: 

If we fly a technician to your office to set‐up computers, we charge you for the airfare, but not the time.

If you need a generator, we'll deliver it and bill you our exact costs.

If you need a server, we take one from our stock and ship it to you. You pay for the shipping.

When You Have A Disaster

• Regardless if you have Agility or not, you would still have the same recovery needs. 

• But Agility will get it done faster, cheaper and more effectively.

•Most importantly, we get it done every time.

Disasters Happen

•During a disaster there are more important things to focus on instead of trying to rebuild your infrastructure. 

•When you’re most vulnerable to being overcharged and underserved, you will have a partner you can trust:  24 years 1000’s of recoveries Never failed

•Agility doesn’t profit from your disaster.

Ask Yourself…

•Do you believe a disaster could happen?

•Do you believe that without a plan, your business will suffer?

•Do you believe Agility, after 24 years and 1000’s of recoveries will be there?
