\"fortune-500-240cs051211\"<\/a>CIOs have a fiduciary duty to ensure the organization they serve has viable future ready solutions for capacity planning, infrastructure management, performance monitoring, measurement of KPIs, downtime prevention and helpdesk resolution. End users have a different perspective, they judge their experience relative to their ability to be productive and complete an end goal.<\/p>\n

Traditional studies are based on datacenter incidents and downtime but don\u2019t account for employee compensation or reduced end user productivity. When apps and databases are unavailable or slow and unresponsive, the downstream impact can be truly devastating. Customer loyalty suffers, industry reputations become damaged, and strategic partnerships dissolve, legal liabilities increase, stock values decrease and financial markets collapse.<\/p>\n

According to Forbes, the Fortune 500 employ 27 million people at an average compensation rate of $33.00 per hour, a Dun & Bradstreet survey determined that 59% of Fortune 500 experience a minimum of 1.6 hours of downtime every week, and a TRAC Research study determined that slow-time occurs 10 times more often than downtime.<\/p>\n

Those statistics indicate that the Fortune 500 experience 24,544 hours of downtime and 245,544 hours of slow-time, that\u2019s a combined 30 years of man-hours annually, the resulting downtime compensation cost is an astronomical $1.2 Trillion which is equal to 12% of US GDP.<\/p>\n

The compensation isn\u2019t wasted, employees will do what comes naturally, they will shift priorities or perform their duties manually or at a reduced rate of productivity until continuity is restored, but they will still be working under less than optimal circumstances and may shift priorities to a less profitable endeavor.<\/p>\n

Imagine the additional wealth, jobs, investments, savings and charitable contributions that could be created by proactively reducing downtime and slow-time<\/a> across domains within the enterprise. End users would be happier, productivity would soar and CIOs would be the new captains of industry.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s obvious slow-time isn\u2019t just a major nuisance, it\u2019s a cancer within the enterprise, left undiagnosed and untreated it the root-cause can spread to other systems within your infrastructure making it much more difficult to diagnose the root-cause and even leading to unscheduled down-time.<\/p>\n

\"Real<\/a>Root-cause diagnosis of slow-time can be extremely difficult, that\u2019s because it can originate due to almost anything and anywhere within the enterprise. Misconfiguration due to human error, missing drivers, intermittent memory faults, network IP cache errors, unbalanced workloads and constrained virtual resources can all be the root-cause of slow-time, or they could just be a resulting symptom, they key to resolving such issues is getting to the root-cause quickly before they spread to other systems and bring productivity to a standstill.<\/p>\n

Fortunately there is a solution that can help businesses proactively reduce downtime, slow-time and improve the end user experience.<\/p>\n

eG Enterprise is a 100% web based performance management solution<\/a>, as long as you have an internet connection you will have universal insight into your infrastructure and can take action anytime, from anywhere on any device.<\/p>\n

Many of the world\u2019s leading organizations rely on the universal insight that eG Enterprise \u00a0provides so they have total visibility across all layers and tiers of the enterprise. Having universal insight enables and empowers them to enhance IT service performance, increase operational efficiency and ensure IT effectiveness.<\/p>\n
