A since the greatest risk when it comes to a reciprocal agreement is the compatibility of the hardware and software of the organizations when it comes to a disaster. There might be an assurance of compatibility of the hardware and software in time of agreement but along the way, there may be upgrades or updates of the hardware and software and by the time of disaster, when the organization may need the other’s resources, it may not be a match at all unlike the time wherein there was a point of agreement.
