Lincoln & Omaha operators
What does an outage actually cost?
Multiply the people who cannot work by their loaded hourly cost by how long systems are down. The scary number is usually labor alone — before lost revenue or recovery. Use it to pressure-test whether break-fix IT is still cheaper than managed coverage.
Rough labor cost of this outage
$4,500
25 people × $45/hr × 4 hours. This is only direct labor — not lost sales, overtime catch-up, reputation, or recovery projects. Lincoln and Omaha operators usually feel the second wave harder than the first.
Fixed-rate monitoring and a 15-minute help-desk target exist to keep incidents short — not to invent a price on this page. Compare the number above to a documented monthly engagement on /pricing, or get a scoped plan via assessment.
