Most businesses don't calculate the cost of downtime until they're in the middle of it.
By then, it's too late. Staff can't work. Customers can't reach you. Deals stall. And every hour that passes, the number gets bigger.
The average cost of IT downtime for an SME is £4,500 per hour. A lot of businesses we speak to have no idea their current setup leaves them exposed to that risk.
Proactive IT doesn't eliminate every incident. But it cuts the frequency, and when something does go wrong, it cuts the recovery time significantly.
