One Word Defines a Successful Small Business - IT Direct: A CompassMSP Company

Resilience. This one word is often the sole difference between a thriving small business and one that constantly struggles. Big companies have the financial footing to be resilient. The fallout from a recent 5-hour Google outage was $500,000 in lost revenue. Amazon lost $3 million from a recent outage lasting under an hour.
