BOSTON, MA — (Marketwire) — 07/21/11 — “Our research shows downtime is down and uptime is up. In the year 2000, the average strategic application had 47 hours of unplanned downtime,” said Jim Johnson, Chairman, The Standish Group, “In the year 2010, the average strategic application had 17 hours per year of unplanned downtime.”
The Standish Group-s the “State of Readiness” report looks at the current state and trends of readiness programs and the role stakeholders play in this approach. It also considers the ten major categories organizations need to consider when looking at creating an active readiness program.
