Resilient Innovations has Africa’s leading disaster recovery site

 ·28 Aug 2025

Last week, Resilient Innovations’ head office in Waterfall City was recognised as Africa’s best continuity and resilience service provider and product for 2025.

This honour, awarded by the globally respected Business Continuity Institute (BCI), highlights the site as the benchmark for resilience and disaster recovery on the continent.

The Waterfall City facility is more than a recovery facility – it is a purpose-built hub designed to keep businesses operational when disruption strikes.

Combining advanced infrastructure with sustainable design, it sets a new standard for resilience in Africa.

The site includes over 500 seats, a flood-proof Tier 3-aligned data centre, dual UPS systems, dual generators, 9,900 litres of backup diesel, 18,000 litres of backup water, grey water systems, solar power, and multiple fibre links.

Over the past five years, it has achieved 100% uptime, continuing to operate seamlessly through major disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

What distinguishes the facility is the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles alongside resilience.

As a 4-star green-rated building, it allows organisations to meet both operational continuity requirements and sustainability goals.

The environment is not only robust and efficient, but also provides a comfortable space for staff during extended recovery periods.

Growing demand for recovery solutions

The award reflects the growing demand for tested recovery solutions across the continent.

It offers reduced downtime, compliance with international standards, and the scalability to support anywhere from a small team to hundreds of critical employees.

Recognised as the Business Continuity Service/Product Provider of the Year in Africa, we proudly continue to stand as the pre-eminent BCM service provider on the continent, trusted by leading organisations across industries.

“This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to resilience and excellence,” said Willem Olivier, CEO of Resilient Innovations.

“This award reflects the dedication and hard work our team has invested over many years, as well as the trust our clients continue to place in us.”

“Ultimately, it’s about giving businesses the confidence to keep moving forward when challenges arise, and being right there to make sure they can.”

Resilient Innovations has become a trusted resilience partner for Banks, Financial Service Providers, JSE-listed entities, blue-chip companies, BPOs, and a wide range of corporates across multiple industries.

It represents the future of disaster recovery, where operational excellence, sustainability, and trusted continuity come together.
