IT service levels: Time to drop your standards?

Ahhhh...are you SURE about the amounts?: "If availability of a service drops 98 percent from 100 percent but saves the company a significant amount, the business impact is minimal enough to make it a viable cost-cutting option, according to the analyst."

That would leave a TWO PERCENT service availability. Me thinks there is a word or two missing from that sentence.; Posted by: IT_Guy_z Posted on: 03/03/09 (Edited: 03/03/2009 @ 10:28) You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
