COOP

Continuity of Operation Planning

In plain language

A plan to keep the most important work going from another place or method when the office is out of action.

The metaphor

Like a restaurant's plan to serve a short menu from a food truck if the kitchen floods.

Going deeper

How it works

  • Identifies the work that must continue.
  • Names a backup location or remote working setup.
  • Covers how staff reach files, phones and email.
  • Gets tested before it is needed.

How WILDCARD handles it

vCIO helps decide what must keep running, and Unified Backups holds the copies needed to resume.

In practice
  • A clinic plans to see urgent patients from a second site.
  • An office tests working from home for a day.
  • A plan lists which systems come back first.

A question owners ask

How is this different from a disaster recovery plan?

Recovery is about restoring systems. This is about keeping the business serving customers while that happens.
