Business Continuity

Are you prepared if disaster strikes? Have you considered the cost to your business if you suffer a total system failure – could your business survive?
Imagine if you arrived at the office on Monday morning and found your server had retired itself? What do you do next and how long would it take you to get back up and running?

At Trusttech we can implement proven disaster recovery procedures to keep your system safe. Our experienced team can meet with you to discuss, evaluate and eliminate any risks that could potentially disrupt your business from an IT perspective.

We not only work to prevent major disasters - but also to prevent minor issues which can cause major problems at work, such as email failure or printing problems.

The cost of downtime

Let’s assume your business turns over $1m per year. There are 50 working weeks a year, or approximately 250 working days (excluding public holidays). That means you are turning over $4000 per day, or $500 per hour. In this example, every hour your system is down, it is costing you $500, and these figures do not include the cost of recreating lost work, missed contract deadlines, client and employee dissatisfaction and the longer term effect on your reputation. If you turn over more than $1m a year, multiply $500 appropriately to find out the cost to YOUR organization.
