Cost of Cloud Outage
Cost of Cloud Outage
Cost of outage is very expensive. If a business has 50,000 customers and just 10% reach out to complain, that's 5,000 complaints to address. That is a significant loss time and energy that could have been spent acquiring new customers and growing the business.
Those unhappy customers are also likely to share their less-than-positive experiences with friends and family, in person or through social media, and might move on to do business with competitors.
Experts estimate that the cost of losing critical applications is more than $5,000 per minute. Nearly 20% of the surveyed companies indicated losses of between $50,000 to over $5,000,000 after losing critical applications and/or data.
