The Real Cost To Network Downtime<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When people hear the term \u201cnetwork downtime\u201d they may just think you\u2019re referring to a router on the fritz, but for businesses of all sizes, ensuring your network will not fail is something that should be taken seriously and not overlooked.\u00a0\u00a0 If your network should all of the sudden fail, do you have a plan in place to keep productivity moving or will this downtime throw a wrench into all business communications?<\/p>\n

It Happens to the Best of Us\u2026Literally<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just in the last few years, we have seen numerous major corporations endure data breaches and system-hacks that left millions of people and their sensitive data exposed and vulnerable.\u00a0 Since 2014 alone, major companies who have experienced such breaches include Target, Home Depot, Neiman Marcus, UPS, BlueCross BlueShield, Kaspersky Lab, numerous banks and casinos, and the infamous Sony Email Hacking Scandal.\u00a0 Even large companies like these are vulnerable to downtime and are prone to cyber-attacks, so it\u2019s important to ensure that your network is safe and secure.\u00a0 Doing so is paramount to keeping your data and your customers\u2019 information safe.\u00a0 At Bar Code Direct, we have the knowledge and the expertise to help you build a robust network of any size to fit your needs.<\/p>\n

Downtime Results in Real Dollars Lost<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Network downtime doesn\u2019t just consist of lost sales due to an inability to communicate with customers and vendors; it also translates into real dollars lost when you consider having to pay idle employees who can\u2019t work.\u00a0 When the issue is inevitably resolved, you have to play catch-up, resulting in a loss of even more time and money.\u00a0 Downtime also negatively affects your supply-chain when you lose customers who need timely products.\u00a0 The loss of clientele further damages your reputation, which can be difficult, and costly, to recover from.<\/p>\n

Downtime: The Cold, Hard Numbers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A quick internet search of the financial impact network downtime can have on your company will yield countless results, which assess annual losses to be anywhere from $51,000 for small businesses to $91,000 for mid-sized and as much as $1,000,000+ for larger enterprises and Fortune500 corporations.\u00a0 Regardless of where your company fits in, the fact that your business will lose a significant amount of money if it can\u2019t instantly recover from a network outage is irrefutable and unavoidable. Let Bar Code Direct create and implement a winning strategy for you.<\/p>\n
