There are, plainly and simply, too many ways that a modern small or medium-sized business can experience an issue that puts their IT out of commission in one way or another. Each one can hit one of these businesses particularly hard in the wallet.
Let’s review some today and discuss how they can be resolved.
There are plenty of ways that your business can have its operations halted by a cybersecurity issue—ransomware is a particularly notorious example. In addition to the already high costs of downtime, there are potential data recovery costs, fines, and fees that you’re going to need to pay… and there’s the very real possibility of lost revenue when your reputation alienates current and potential clients.
We’ve already addressed how data recovery costs money… now consider the many reasons it may be necessary, in addition to security issues. There’s hardware failure, innocent mistakes by your team members, and acts of nature. Without data, your business is only able to tread water at best… an expensive and frustrating proposition.
Modern businesses heavily rely on their technology to operate, so if that technology is unavailable for any reason, you’re losing money through a lack of productivity and customer satisfaction. What’s worse, you’re losing it fast.
The older your business technology gets, the more expensive it inherently becomes. Things slow down, they use more energy, upkeep costs rise, and they’re more apt to security issues and shortcomings. One way or another, you’re going to spend more than you need to.
Finally, what happens when any of the above situations come to pass and you need to address them? Hiring outsourced providers on a case-by-case basis not only costs a premium per issue, it really does little to prevent further issues (and therefore, more costs) down the line—it goes against their business model, after all.
