Why you need client care support

In the connected age, we increasingly rely on technology and expect that technology to optimize our daily operations. Tools such as Azure, Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 have become mainstays in day-to-day enterprise operations enhancing our ability to communicate and collaborate, build strong customer relationships, and improve productivity and performance. Without these tools, or when they’re not available, there are costs. We all know the adage “time is money” and any outage or downtime costs money, costs productivity, and ultimately impacts the bottom line.

These tools need ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and support to continue working optimally in the ever-changing technology landscape. With technology architectures becoming increasingly interdependent some downtime is unavoidable. However, downtime is expensive with Gartner estimating a cost of $5,600 per minute so, every second really does count. While it may be inevitable, downtime can be minimized.
