Lawson Software has introduced Lawson Disaster Recovery, a cloud-based disaster recovery service to help its customers with business continuity after a technology-related disaster.

The new service can help organizations resume their most important business processes, including payroll, finance, accounts receivable/payable, inventory management, and procurement, within 12 hours. The new offering is available to Lawson S3 customers operating on a Microsoft Windows environment.

Lawson Disaster Recovery is delivered via Lawson Cloud Services, providing security for Lawson customers' data. Cloud delivery also provides flexible capacity, meaning Lawson customers can more readily increase or decrease their Cloud-based infrastructure usage as needed.

Through this service, Lawson pulls customer data on an hourly basis into Lawson Disaster Recovery and provides a two-hour restore point in the event of a disaster. This rapid restore point, coupled with the flexibility of Cloud infrastructure, means Lawson customers can be up-and-running on their most critical business functions in 12 hours or less with minimal loss of production data.

"Currently, many organizations risk being down for days and losing significant amounts of data in the event of a disaster, and that can be devastating to their business. Our customers have asked for a reliable, cost-effective business continuity solution when it comes to their most time-sensitive business processes," said Terry Plath, vice president of Lawson Cloud Services.

"By taking advantage of the flexible capacity and rapid scalability of the Cloud, we can quickly restore the customers' instance of the software along with their production data to minimize down time."
