Optima partners Sungard
National law firm Optima Legal has partnered with SunGard Availability Services to enable the delivery of an innovative, robust and reliable disaster recovery and business continuity plan to cover the firm's multi-jurisdictional operation
Due to the recent expansion of Optima Legal's Scottish operation and in order to continue with a commitment to deliver a high level of service for clients, Optima Legal has partnered with SunGard Availability Services to provide a disaster recovery and business continuity management solution that can be easily and quickly invoked in any unforeseen emergency situation.
Operating from two off-site facilities in both England and Scotland, Optima Legal's robust disaster recovery function allows its clients to continue with a "business as usual" approach in any emergency situation, mitigating the risk of interruption to any area of business.
The Disaster Recovery locations hold over 300 desk positions throughout the two sites, which can be invoked and fully operational within 72 hours.
With the importance of technology and the increased use of the internet transforming the way Optima Legal delivers innovative legal services, keeping employees and clients connected is vital to providing an uninterrupted quality service.
Adrian Lamb, Chief Executive of Optima Legal had this to say about the multi-jurisdictional disaster recovery plan: "With the addition of our Scottish capability, it is important that we have a comprehensive disaster recovery plan that covers all eventualities across multiple jurisdictions. Working in partnership with SunGard allows us to be confident the business will continue operating as usual during unexpected disruptions without compromising the high service levels clients have come to expect from Optima Legal."
