On August 22, FREP held ERP DISASTER RECOVERY launch meeting. Mr. Saleh Zaid, General Manager of Technical & Planning Department, Madam Wong Lock Leng, General Manager of Finance Department and Mr. Pan Zenghai, Disaster Recovery Technology Director of PCITC attended the meeting, and put forward requirements on relevant work, emphasized the importance of the project and made arrangement for the implementation of the project. Lin Xu, Deputy General Manager of Technical & Planning Department, announced the organizational structure of the project and responsibilities. Li Weiling, Information System Manager of Technical & Planning Department and Zhao Jianhua, Project Manager of PCITC introduced project background and project implementation plan respectively.
FREP ERP DISASTER RECOVERY system carries the main businesses and is involved in the core operation processes including finance, plan, purchase and sales and so on. It is of great importance to the normal operation of the company to ensure the continuous operation of the data and application of the ERP DISASTER RECOVERY system. The purpose of designing and implementing the disaster recovery system of the ERP is to ensure that ERP can be started quickly in case of a major disaster, to ensure continuous operation of core businesses and thus protect the company from great losses caused by any disaster as well as adverse effects arising from the losses.
According to the measurement (based on the production and business conditions of 2009) and the calculation on investment, recovery costs and sales influence and so on, it can protect RMB 24 million of investment and prevent a potential loss of over RMB 300 million for a year by implementing the ERP DISASTER RECOVERY system.
With PCITC’s enormous technical strength and rich IT system development experiences in petrochemical industry, this project was consigned to PCITC with contract in March 2012. To ensure the implementation progress of the project and avoid some constrain factors, FREP decided in July to install ERP DISASTER RECOVERY machine in CCR2 and complete the ERP DISASTER RECOVERY system to close the auditing defects on time.
The ERP DISASTER RECOVERY machine is installed in the machine room of Quanzhou Office Building, making full use to the network between Quanzhou Office Building and the office building in the plant area. While providing ERP DISASTER RECOVERY service to the office staff in Quanzhou with remote office, FREP also set up a city-wide disaster system to make it easy for the remote maintenance of the disaster system and save maintenance costs.
FREP is the first petrochemical enterprise in China that implements the ERP DISASTER RECOVERY system. The success in the implementation of the project also provides experiences and references for the disaster setting for other IT systems. (Information System Team of Technical & Planning Department)
