Why maintain technology?

There is always a cost involved with keeping technology running—it is just a matter of how and when this cost is incurred: reactively or proactively.

If your business relies on technology, when it stops, you stop

If you work to deadlines, can't afford lost data, wish to avoid re-work and want to minimise downtime, then you should consider preventative maintenance of your business technology.

Consider just one common source of data loss or corruption—hard drive failure

How long does the manufacturer really think their drives will last? Check the warranty period: 2-5 years is common, and that is just the risk the manufacturers are willing to take for product replacement—the warranty never covers your data recovery or any re-work required.

 

So how can exposure and cost be minimised?

With technology, a certain amount of break-fix work can never be completely avoided. However, overall risk can be mitigated through proactive maintenance and ensuring that backup and rapid-recovery systems are in place.
