These tools can improve productivity by providing formatted templates customized to the particular organization s needs. Some vendors also offer specialized recovery software focused on a particular type of business or vertical market. A good source of links to various vendors is located at intisslinks. In this type of agreement both parties agree to support each other in the case of a disruptive event. This arrangement is made on the assumption that each organization s operations area will have the capacity to support the other s in time of need. This is a big assumption. There are clear advantages to this type of arrangement. It allows an organization to obtain a disaster-processing site at very little or no cost thereby creating an alternate processing site even though a company may have very few financial resources to create one. Also if the companies have very similar processing needs that is the same network operating system the same data communications needs or the same transaction processing procedures this type of agreement may be workable. This type of agreement has serious disadvantages however and really should be considered only if the organization has the perfect partner a subsidiary perhaps and has no other alternative to disaster recovery . a solution would not exist otherwise . One disadvantage is that it is highly unlikely that each organization s infrastructure will have the extra unused capacity to enable full operational processing during the event. Also as opposed to a hot or warm site this type of arrangement severely limits the responsiveness and support available to the organization during an event and can be used only for short-term outage support. The biggest flaw in this type of plan is obvious if we ask what happens .
