How much does 30 minutes of down time cost your business?

Maintenance overheads aside, think about the opportunity costs in lost productivity. Now imagine a 16 hour downtime. Will your company operations be hurt because of inaccessibility to critical data? In the US, 43% companies never reopen after a major disaster*, and only 7% survive for an additional 5 years**.

While we cannot control external forces – natural, human or technical; we can control the impact they have on our businesses. No company is immune to such catastrophes. Companies are protecting their data against disruptions more seriously today with contingency plans and standby servers, because of our excessive dependencies on machines.

Time or data loss has huge costs in terms of overheads and lost opportunities. Loosing integral data to disasters not only impacts the security and finances of your business, it jeopardizes its existence completely.

So the question is, how prepared are you to face such unforeseen situations? Do you have the peace of mind that no matter what happens, your company’s data will be protected and your business will continue without stalling even for a moment?

Your business success, bottom line, and growth depend on how prepared and secure your systems and processes are at all times.

You won’t ever have to recover from disasters, if you are ready for them.
