What Is IT Really Costing Your Business?
IT problems rarely appear as a single, obvious cost. More often, they show up as lost staff time, recurring interruptions, employees troubleshooting problems themselves and managers being drawn away from their normal responsibilities.
Integris has launched a new Hidden IT Cost Calculator designed to help businesses estimate what these day-to-day IT issues could be costing them each year.
The complimentary two-minute assessment looks at factors including staff productivity, time spent dealing with IT problems, software and licensing governance, and key cybersecurity and business continuity measures.
Based on the information provided, the calculator estimates:
- productive staff hours potentially lost each year;
- the equivalent number of working days;
- the estimated annual cost of that lost productivity;
- the level of internal IT burden;
- software and licensing governance considerations; and
- potential gaps across core cybersecurity and continuity measures.
The calculation is deliberately conservative. It focuses primarily on measurable staff time and does not attempt to place speculative values on major outages, cyber incidents, data loss, lost sales or reputational damage.
The objective is simple: to give business owners and managers a clearer picture of costs that can easily remain hidden within normal day-to-day operations.
Could some of this cost be avoided?
Better-managed technology can help reduce recurring disruption, unnecessary internal troubleshooting and operational risk, while allowing employees to focus on the work they were actually employed to do.
