Promero has launched a Web site, www.disasterrecoveryondemand.com, which describes its telecommunications disaster recovery on demand service. "Restoring telecommunications services, or providing contingency services is truly an essential first step to recovery," company officials noted.
Voice communications are more vital in managing a disaster than e-mail or other means of messaging, company officials contend: "Live conversations are immediate, delivered in real time, and accurately convey human emotion. When your phone system is working, so is your business."
The mission of Promero's Disaster Recovery OnDemand service is to recover telecommunication in an area affected by a disaster. "Telecommunications is vital for our business and government customers following a disaster, both for the impacted area and for the rest of the country," stated Gregg Troyanowski, president of Promero.
With Promero's Disaster Recovery OnDemand, Business Continuity Managers who are responsible for telecommunications have instant access to route calls according to their need. Situations such as fire, wind, flood or earthquake, or something man-made, "other that cause global evacuation or destruction of an office," company officials stipulate, "will not affect communications."

Mrs. First Coffee had a Turkish Moment here in Istanbul last week. She had picked out a mirror frame and glass from a shop here, and asked them to make her a mirror. Goes back to pick it up, and saw it still hadn't been assembled. She said she'd come back the next day, but the man said "Oh no, I'll do it now." Okay, why wasn't it done before? "I didn't do it because somebody might have bought it."
Think about all the positive and negative implications of that statement, which are about evenly split, think about what it says about people who would think that way, and you're beginning to understand Turks.
