Every time a problem arises and you suffer downtime someone else is making money. Excessive problems can lead to substantial loses over time but with good solid procedures in place you may be in an enviable position to avoid the added pressures on your business. Whether changes made to a system are malicious or simply user errors you need to know about them. Prompt action may divert further problems and save time and money, it's as simple as that. If you have a quality product that provides a workable solution then you will also be able to monitor your systems with ease and lower the stress on your key employees.
