Paperback. On a Wednesday afternoon in November, a distribution company's order management system went down. Three hours later, it was still down. By the end of the day, the I.T. team had a fix. The CEO had a different problem: fourteen customers had called to ask where their orders were, two had emailed to say they were moving to a competitor, and the sales team had stopped quoting new business because they could not access pricing data.The system was back online by five o'clock. The cost of those three hours was not on any invoice.That is the problem this book addresses. Downtime has a direct cost that most businesses can calculate, roughly: the revenue that stops while systems are down. What most businesses have never calculated is everything else. The staff hours spent waiting, workarounds, and manual workaround documentation. The customers who never complain but simply do not come back. The deals that do not close because someone needed data they could not access. The reputation damage that shows up in customer conversations six months later. The regulatory exposure when a system failure intersects with a compliance requirement.The Real Costs of Downtime walks through the full picture of what a system failure actually costs a business, from the direct and immediate to the indirect and long-term. It covers the most common causes of downtime and what each one typically costs to recover from. It explains how to calculate your own downtime exposure, what a downtime budget actually looks like, and how to read a service level agreement without being misled by the numbers.It also covers something most I.T. conversations miss entirely: what to do while systems are down. Communications. Customer management. Staff direction. The decisions that cannot wait for the system to come back online. The CEOs who handle outages well are almost never the ones with the best technology. They are the ones with a plan.This is not a book about preventing every outage. That is not possible. It is a book about understanding what outages actually cost, making better decisions about where to invest in resilience, and being ready when something goes wrong, because something always does.IT Support 101 Inc. is an independent advisory firm working exclusively with business owners and executive teams on the technology decisions they cannot afford to get wrong. No commissions. No vendor relationships. Just clear, honest advisory work on your side of the table. This item is printed on demand.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes.
