Uncover the Business Value of Backup and Recovery
Can your small business afford data loss? What about damages caused by fire? Or flood? It’s easy to shrug off these “what if” scenarios. But with terrible stories in the news every day, the world feels like it’s falling apart left and right. It’s hard not to feel at least a little anxious about where your own business stands. Here’s the truth, disasters cause downtime. And for businesses, downtime costs money. Bottom line, if you can’t run business operations, your business is losing money. Channel studies have found that an hour of downtime costs $8,000 for a small business. The good news? Taking steps to protect your business doesn’t have to be expensive. Your first step is to attend our next webinar hosted by Michael Wolinski, MRW Systems’ CEO. During this webinar, Michael will expose the truth behind backup & recovery plans. You will learn why most plans fail during a disaster and the cost associated with failure. At the end of the webinar, you will have concrete steps to take to prevent downtime. If losing revenue during a disaster is a concern for your organization, this event is a MUST.
