• Over a quarter of respondents said the sales side of their business would be significantly impacted within an hour if e-mail went down, whilst a day’s downtime would have a significant negative impact on over three quarters of organisations.

• 70 percent of organisations expect the IT department to respond within 10 minutes when an e-mail availability problem occurs.
