There is no tolerance for downtime
In a 2019 study commissioned by IBM, Forrester Consulting conducted a survey of 100 IT directors in large US enterprises to understand the reality of downtime at their organization. On average, respondents estimated that planned downtime cost their organization USD 1.5 million in the last quarter, and USD 5.6 million in the last year.¹
“Because planned downtime is costly, some enterprises try to avoid it for needed bug fixes and security updates… [this] results in a greater risk of unplanned downtime, creating a downtime cycle.”²
– Forrester, 2019
