Case Study: East Coast Construction Management achieves business continuity after a fire with Computer Guidance Corporation’s Hosted eCMS

East Coast Construction Management - Customer Case Study

East Coast Construction Management, a general and heavy highway construction company, faced a catastrophic fire that destroyed its main office. This disaster threatened to halt its business operations entirely. The company, a long-time customer of Computer Guidance Corporation, was protected because it used the vendor's Hosted eCMS cloud-based ERP solution, which kept its critical data safe and off-site.

The solution from Computer Guidance Corporation ensured business continuity as the hosted ERP system was untouched by the fire, running securely in a remote data center. This allowed employees to process payroll and maintain operations from remote locations immediately after the event. The implementation provided a seamless business continuity plan, guaranteeing ongoing access to mission-critical data and allowing the company to continue meeting project deadlines without interruption, thereby avoiding the high failure rate often associated with post-disaster recovery.
