The present contribution seeks to infer new business continuity management knowledge based on multidimensional data analysis in the field of agriculture. The research relies on real business continuity data regarding the Dairy Farms and the Cattle Feed Yards industries. The utilized data sets enable the formulation of domain business continuity management data hierarchy schemas including dimensions and facts for efficient aggregate data analysis based on online analytical processing operations. The multidimensional models are proposed for the efficient business continuity management policies in the selected industries. Specific business continuity reports are also presented as examples of the possible multidimensional data analysis outputs in the investigated agricultural industries.

The process automation, the digital services provision, the information sharing through multiple systems, channels and platforms are just some selected examples through which the importance of ICT has been proven. One of the advantages of digitization, is the possibility to extract data from multiple sources and process it in such a way that efficient decisions can be made in terms of the company’s competitive advantage. Especially in agriculture, the assistance of computerized systems and the various data collection and processing tools can significantly boost agricultural productivity (Lytos et al, 2020). However, the computerized processes are highly exposed to various threats which can cause their unplanned interruptions. Business Continuity Management (Watters, 2014) aims to the rapid restoration of all the critical systems and key business functions in the enterprises, the public organizations and the industry.
