WHY IT MATTERS TO THE MARKET
Operational continuity is a material consideration when enterprises adopt platforms involved in business decisions and automated processes.
Technology procurement assessments must distinguish critical production environments from development and testing systems.
Recovery time, service dependencies, fallback procedures, incident reporting and post-incident remediation can influence total operating costs and supplier risk.
