Chadwicks Group follows planning and testing blueprint for business continuity success

Having a business continuity plan for its head office in Dublin is especially important for the largest building materials retailer in Ireland, because the site houses the server farm needed to operate the retailer’s 50-plus stores throughout the country. If those servers go down, its branch network goes down, and it's reduced to operating manually, which results in a major loss of revenue for the business.
