Estimated recoverable each year with proactively managed IT, based on the industry benchmark of ~70% reduction in friction and downtime.

Estimates only, computed live from your inputs: productivity drain = staff × hourly cost × hours lost per month × 12; downtime = events per year × hours per event × revenue lost per hour. The 70% recovery figure is an industry benchmark for practices moving from reactive to proactively managed IT. Your results will vary.
