When your systems go down, your business grinds to a halt. For small businesses in the greater Milwaukee area, downtime isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a serious threat to your bottom line.
Whether it’s a server crash, a security breach, or an internet outage, even a short disruption can cause lost productivity, missed opportunities, and damaged customer trust. The good news? With the right IT support in place, you can prevent most downtime before it ever happens.
What Does Downtime Actually Cost?
Let’s break it down:
- Lost Productivity: Employees can't work without access to systems, which means paying for idle time.
- Lost Revenue: Every minute your customer-facing systems are down, you risk losing sales and clients.
- Reputation Damage: Clients expect reliability. Downtime can lead to poor reviews and lost trust.
- Recovery Costs: The longer you're offline, the more it costs to get back on track — and that doesn't include overtime or emergency vendor fees.
According to Gartner, the average cost of IT downtime is $5,600 per minute. While this figure is based on larger enterprises, even scaled down for small businesses, the impact is massive.
