As a business owner, you know that time is money. The more time your business is up, the more potential you have to close a sale, please a customer or improve your brand. When you experience IT-related downtime, it creates frustration on the part of your employees and your customers. It also makes you less profitable.

 

Downtime

Downtime refers to periods of time during which a computer system, server, or network is unavailable for use. In many cases periods of downtime result from unplanned or unexpected events like network outages and hardware failure.

Downtime does occur because of disasters, but many business owners think that downtime is a part of normal operations and that they need to expect to be down regularly because of the nature of technology.

 


According to Gartner, the average cost of IT downtime is $5,600 per minute.


 

This couldn’t be farther from the truth. If you’re experiencing downtime on a daily or weekly basis because “that’s the limitations of the technology,” it’s time to kill the status quo. You can keep working consistently – it simply takes a company that recognizes the importance of keeping you up and running so you can grow your business.

If you’re ready to “say no to the status quo,” we’d love to hear from you. Your IT should be working as hard as you are. Teknologize can make it happen.
