CopperTree Solutions asks: Are you prepared for an IT system breakdown?
CopperTree Solutions asks: Are you prepared for an IT system breakdown?
An IT breakdown comes with severe consequences. These can include, lost business with customers (both short term and long term), loss of sales, reduction in productivity, employee overtime expenses (if applicable), loss of valuable data, service and repair costs, damages to reputation or customer confidence, a penalty for failure to fulfill orders… The list goes on and on.
In North America and in Europe, more than $26.5 billion in revenue is lost each year due to IT downtime. On average, IT failures cost small businesses more than $55,000 in revenue each year.
How does downtime affect your business?
Do your employees sit at computers? Do you relay on IT to communicate with your customers? In which ways do you require your computer system to fulfill your mission? The more technologically dependent your business is, the greater the impact a power shortage will have on your business’ success.
Despite these costs and risks, 56% of companies in North America don’t a have a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. A disaster recovery plan ensures a business’ IT systems operate smoothly and uninterruptedly in the face of a disaster.
