Data centers are no longer considered a support function, they are the heartbeat of every organization. Backing up every single business function from file storage, networks, phone systems, email, customer information, websites, and more – data center downtime is no longer an option and 100% uptime is required.
But what happens when getting the IT hardware or software you need takes longer than it should? For many organizations, slow IT procurement is an invisible drain on time, productivity, profit, hardware efficiency, and risks higher levels of downtime.
The Real-World Impact of IT Delays
Procurement delays can stem from outdated processes, multiple vendor touchpoints, long quote cycles, or lack of real-time product availability. These delays might seem like minor inconveniences at first, but they often snowball into larger operational issues that impact the entire business.
According to Gartner, the average cost of IT downtime is approximately $5,600 per minute. That’s not just a budget line item—it’s lost productivity, missed revenue, and potential damage to your customer relationships.
Stuck in a Reactive Cycle
Sluggish sourcing puts IT departments in a reactive mode. When teams are stuck waiting for equipment to arrive, projects get pushed back, onboarding slows down, and maintenance is deferred. In some cases, businesses end up making rushed purchases at higher costs just to keep things moving. Worse still, delayed procurement can leave critical systems running on outdated hardware, increasing vulnerability to cybersecurity and downtime risks.
