Warwick Business School and Networks First are issuing a call to action -- asking companies across the UK to take part in the ‘State of the Nation IT Support Review’ by registering online at www.networksfirst.com. Aimed at companies with over 500 employees from all walks of life including legal, finance and retail organisations as well as the public sector, the survey aims to highlight IT service hot spots and flag costly pitfalls.
Peter Titmus, Managing Director, Networks First, comments: “Companies simply don’t have a clue what downtime is costing them. Some estimate the cost at £1 million per minute whilst others have no idea how much even a temporary loss of email costs them in terms of business.
“Given how crucial IT networks are to the running of every business the ‘State of the Nation IT Support Review’ aims to help companies understand the impact of network failures.
“Every company that takes part will receive a complimentary copy of the findings. We want to get everyone thinking about their networks. Where their networks start, where they end, the part they play in their business and who is looking after them.”
