Lack of Discipline
Human error is the number one cause for network and system downtime. Different studies
show that 55% to 65% of downtime is caused by lack of standardization, poor change
management, inefficient incident management, poor documentation, and lack of discipline.
Customer satisfaction is affected by uptime and availability, time of problem resolution,
accuracy of reporting, and transparency.
