Business continuity questions for Philippines support teams
A buyer-focused analysis of what should happen to open work when a support person, system, or communication channel is unavailable.
Research question: what evidence shows that a delegated support lane can recover without losing ownership or customer context?
Continuity is more than a backup person. The role needs current work state, named access ownership, a way to identify urgent exceptions, and a decision owner who can change priorities when conditions shift.
CISA describes supply-chain resilience as planning for disruption and response. Applied to offshore support, that means asking how the service will communicate an interruption, protect records, and resume work without creating duplicate actions.
Test the assumptions with a bounded scenario. Do not make the specialist invent a crisis response; give the owner a clear escalation destination and record which parts of the role remain paused.
