What Can System Downtime Cost Your Company?

System downtime can be extraordinarily expensive. Use this formula below to steer your Information Technology budget toward the tools to prevent these occurrences:

·Identify and eliminate vulnerability points
·Get proactive with regularly scheduled maintenance
·Build a plan for rapid recovery

Blow-by-blow account of a network outage, if your only safety net is “keeping your fingers crossed.”

8:30 a.m.
Employees arrive at the office ready to work and no one can logon to the network.

10:30 a.m.
Internal systems administrator (often the office manager) fears it may be hours, perhaps days, before the server is up again.

11:15 a.m.
Employees begin naps, early lunch, shopping and golf.

3:30 p.m.
Management learns the company is losing ___________ every hour the server is down.

Prevent this now. Learn the cost of your downtime (see the right) and take proactive action before you’re forced to take reactive action.

We recommend starting with FreedomNet's Business Technology Assessment.
