The True Price of Downtime
IT downtime is more than an inconvenience—it’s a significant risk with hidden costs that can severely impact a business.
The Immediate Impact
- Lost Productivity: Employees are unable to work, sales processes halt, and customer interactions are delayed.
- Ransomware Risks: Without effective tools, recovery from a cyberattack can take days or even weeks.
Customer Impact
- Frustration: Delayed responses erode customer trust.
- Reputational Damage: Customers expect reliability; outages can harm your brand image.
Hidden Costs
- Employee Morale: Repeated disruptions affect motivation and productivity.
- Emergency Repairs: Rapid fixes often come with higher costs.
- Compliance Issues: Downtime may lead to breaches of regulatory standards.
