Business Continuity
DEFINITION
Past unexpected events on the campus such as floods, fires, severe weather, and damaged server rooms resulted in departments relocating operations, halting services, or suffering permanent data loss.
Business continuity is our preparation for these and other unexpected disruptions to continue to provide our essential services with as little disruption as possible.
The mission of the University of Texas at Arlington’s Business Continuity Program is to establish and support an on-going contingency planning program to evaluate the impact of significant events that may adversely affect students, faculty, staff, and assets. The goals for successful business continuity planning are that each Vice President/Provost, Dean, Director, Department Chair, or Supervisor assumes responsibility for the operational continuity in their respective units.
