Study Shows that 97% of UK Companies Face Costly IT Outages, Though 53% of Failures are Avoidable

LogicMonitor, a SaaS-based performance monitoring platform for enterprise IT and service providers, has released the results of a new study of 300 IT decision-makers, including 100 based in the UK.

The 2019 IT Outage Impact Study examines the impact infrastructure and software brownouts and outages have on organisations, and if such events are preventable. The survey found that although performance and availability, the state of when an organisation’s IT infrastructure is functioning properly, are the top two concerns of IT teams worldwide, organisations are still plagued by frequent brownouts (where infrastructure or software performs at a degraded level) or outright outages.
