May be yours or vendor staff High Warm site Partially IT equipped, some office, data & voice, infrastructure Days or weeks. Need equipment, data, communications Moderate Cold site Minimal infrastructure, HVAC Weeks or more. Need all IT, office equipment, & communications Lowest
22 Processing Agreements AgreementDescriptionConsiderations Reciprocal or Mutual Aid Two or more organizations agree to recover critical operations for each other. Technology upgrades/ obsolescence or business growth. Security and access by partner users. Contingency Alternate arrangements if primary provider is interrupted, i.e., voice or data communications. Providers may share paths or lease from each other. Question them. Service Bureau Agreement with application service provider to process critical business function. Evaluate their loading, geography and ask about backup mode.
