Network downtime is more than about the company losing revenue, it could also cost you your job.
A recent survey by Avaya showed that “one in five companies fire an IT employee when a network downtime incident occurs”.

The survey of mid-to-large companies in the UK, US and Canada found that 82% of those surveyed experienced some type of network downtime caused by IT personnel making errors when configuring changes to the core of the network.In fact, the survey found that one-fifth of all network downtime in 2013 was caused by core errors. More troubling is the fact that 80% of companies experiencing downtime from core errors in 2013 lost revenue, with the average company losing £83,819 per incident. The financial sector lost an average of £323,509 per incident.
The resulting impact on a career can be significant: a surprising one in five companies fired an IT employee when a network downtime incident occurred. The factor was more dramatic for some industries. Respondents also said that one in three companies in the natural resources, utilities & telecoms sector sacked IT staff due to downtime caused by change errors.
Instead of waiting for network downtime to occur, IT teams can take pro-active and preventive measures to address potential faults before it turns into a major outage.
With NetGain Systems monitoring service, IT teams will have tools to allow immediate notification of service level or device faults. This allows initiation of problem resolutions and identification of root cause and can help mitigate risks and potentially detrimental downtime. NetGain Systems’ automated monitoring platform can also increase efficiency, reduce service time-to-market and accelerate time-to-revenue.
“Since we implemented the NetGain Enterprise Manager, we’ve been able to mitigate IT Infrastructural risks and greatly reduce the impact of critical incidents.

I would recommend NetGain to any organisation looking to reduce downtime and business losses.”
