IT organizations worldwide are concerned about their ability to evade costly outages and mitigate downtime. Read more.
With digital initiatives and technology becoming omnipresent with business today, one would suppose that companies would be more than ready for an environment where practically every touchpoint with customers is digitalized. Unfortunately, the fact that many big companies experienced major IT outages last year implies that there is still much scope of improvement in administering operations and optimal smooth-running customer experience.
IT organizations worldwide are concerned about their ability to evade costly outages, mitigate downtime, and reliably provide the continuous tech support that customers and partners demand in today's hyper-accelerated dynamic business environment.
Any IT personnel will tell you this; performance and availability are top priorities for their department. These two mission-critical priorities beat out security and cost, surprising considering how much attention security gets in today's data-breach sober environment.
Yet the intense focus on keeping the network up and running at peak performance has not prevented downtime. The fact that most of the companies still face a sporadic outage seems bad news if performance and availability are assumed to be the critical considerations for modern organizations.
Network failure, computational surges, manual error, software malfunction and infrastructure that fails are common causes of IT related downtime. However, what is surprising is that enterprises report that more than half of the downtime that they previously experienced could have been prevented.
Companies with frequent outages can experience up to 15x times the cost when moderating and recovering from downtime than those with better credentials. Actual charges associated with downtime can be encompassed under lost revenue, lost productivity, compliance and mitigation costs, brand erosion, and a lower stock price.
Downtime comes with additional costs for organizations when also impacted by negative media coverage and career disruptions.
Most analysts would state that IT outages and brownouts (periods of dramatically reduced or slowed service) primarily lead to lost revenue, lost productivity and other compliance-related costs. Organizations with frequent outages and brownouts experience:
As discussed before, as more than half of the observed outages are avoidable, it adds credibility to the fact that an increasing number of organizations should take proactive steps to prevent such disruptive events. The best-performing organizations are already working round the clock to avoid costly downtime. The actions listed below might act as substantial IT considerations towards such proactive efforts:
