Gillis, Ellis & Baker restores continuity within days after Katrina with Agility Recovery

Gillis, Ellis & Baker, a leading insurance provider in the Gulf Coast region, faced the immense challenge of maintaining business continuity for their clients ahead of Hurricane Katrina. With the storm threatening to devastate the area and disrupt operations, the customer needed to ensure they could remain a reliable partner. They engaged vendor Agility Recovery for a solution.

Agility Recovery deployed a fully-equipped mobile recovery unit, providing workstations, a satellite internet link, and a generator. This solution allowed Gillis, Ellis & Baker to become operational within days of the hurricane. As a result, their agents could service clients immediately and even advised other companies on using Agility's services, leading to what their COO described as their "biggest and best business sales year ever" post-recovery.
