The Cost of Downtime

Just how important is IT infrastructure maintenance to most businesses?? Given the rise of online trade and tighter links between suppliers and customers it is, surely, becoming more critical. Add in the increasingly critical role of IT in meeting escalating compliance requirements from Sarbanes Oxley to Turnbull, it is essential that IT solutions are not only robust but that downtime is minimalised. With some companies estimating downtime of £1million per minute Ultima in conjunction with Networks First and Warwick University have produced a study paper on the cost of downtime to businesses.

Make it Easier - No Hassle!

There’s no question that keeping on top of the maintenance contracts for the plethora of multi-vendor devices can be a headache. Let alone logging a call with the vendor, eventually and often with cultural differences, only to be taken through a list of self validating checks when all you want is an engineer and part to fix. (And wouldn’t it be nice to see a site familiar engineer that’s used to your environment and team.  Have you ever been in the scenario where you log a call on a piece of equipment that isn’t on your contract and you are refused service. Our contracts are built around a ‘service first’ approach. Let Ultima take all this pain away. For a brief overview of our service follow the attached link. Click Here

Without fail you will incur downtime but it won’t necessarily be due to a hardware failure. That’s why Ultima maintenance support doesn’t just focus on repairing the hardware fault. We are an extension of your own IT support team in ensuring the ‘restoration of service’ including configuration/software reloads against pre-determined SLA’s.
