Intel Business Continuity Practices

Intel Business Continuity Practices

As a global corporation with locations and suppliers all over the world, Intel requires every Intel organization to embed business continuity as a core business practice. By integrating business continuity as a core business practice in all decisions and programs, Intel is able to maintain and regularly test business continuity plans for all its sites, facilities and operations. In the event of a business disruption, our business continuity plans are designed to enable us to continue critical business functions (such as handling customer orders, overseeing production and deliveries, and managing the supply chain). Our business continuity plans include (but are not limited to):

• Relocating impacted businesses to designated recovery locations. Intel business continuity at a glance
