Today people around the world are on edge with the coronavirus. Businesses should be on edge as well, and preparation is key. At the core of the matter is IT.
Imagine the CEO of your organization getting a call from operations leaders saying that your entire IT team is infected and quarantined. What’s more, your order-processing and e-mail systems are both down. What do you do? Whom do you contact? How do you communicate the urgency, and what about your clients and partner networks?
