FY2007-2008 Business Continuity Plan


 

Appendix C
C-0.  General Risk Analysis

 

General Analysis:         

 

Given the operating conditions and assumptions within this Business Continuity Plan, the University has the following strengths and weaknesses:

 

Strengths:

·        Many key support services are at least partially administered through the UH System, including payroll, personnel actions, and computer mainframe support.

 

·        All computer records, both mainframe and LAN are backed-up off site and should be readily accessible if the interruption is confined to the UHV campus and if PCs are available.

 

·       Many tasks are not time constrained and therefore there is some degree of flexibility as to when and where these tasks need to be done.

 

·      Some of the University's key tasks can be reconfigured and can be accomplished from home locations.

 

·       Information Technology has a system of servers hosting key applications. If one server goes down, only that application is affected

 

Weaknesses:

·        Teaching tasks are time constrained.

 

·      There is a total lack of off-site and/or pre-positioned supplies and equipment for the University.

 

·       At present, considerable time may be required to locate and set up alternate operational and teaching sites since the availability of possible alternate sites is not guaranteed or confirmed.

 

·       Information Technology, the access and delivery of electronically stored data and records, is extremely critical to almost the entire agency’s daily operational tasks.nt>
