Why downtime costs more than expected
The visible problem is rarely the full cost.
A short outage can create a long tail of lost work, technical response, rework, missed opportunities, and employee frustration.
02
Response and recovery labor
Internal teams and outside vendors spend time troubleshooting, coordinating, restoring service, validating systems, and documenting the issue.
03
Recurring business disruption
Repeated slowdowns and outages interrupt client service, delay deadlines, create rework, and make technology harder to manage.
