When systems go down, the impact spreads fast. First, work slows or stops. Then customers feel the delay, and revenue follows shortly after. However, the true cost of downtime often shows up later—in how long it takes to recover. Without a clear recovery plan, that timeline stretches longer than most businesses expect.
