Local Discussions What's happening in the Northwest District business community
What would actually happen to your business if all of your business data disappeared today?
Would you miss client deadlines, be unable to bill or collect payments, lose contracts or customer history, or have to pause operations while trying to recreate critical information? Most businesses don’t feel the impact of data loss immediately,it shows up as downtime, lost revenue, and damaged trust, so I’m curious how others here think about the real-world consequences and how long their business could operate without access to its data.

We remodeled our kitchen a few years ago and initially chode to go with a firm that was going to put in standard cabinets. That's when we realized how well the architect designed our kitchen space to accommodate the cabinets to work within the slightly weird space. For me, it was taking a step back and looking at how the space would flow once the remodel was complete vs spending less money.
