What happens if your internet goes down—right now?
Would your team know what to do?
Would your work come to a halt?
Would you still be able to serve your customers?
It’s one of those questions that rarely gets asked… until it’s too late.
The 10-Minute Downtime Drill
Here’s a challenge: Take 10 minutes and run a simulated “internet outage” in your office.
-
What tools stop working?
-
What workarounds do people use?
-
Who asks, “Now what?”
-
How long does it take before things stall?
Most teams discover that internet connectivity is the backbone of almost everything—from file access to customer communication to payment processing.
Which is why the absence of a continuity plan is such a big risk.
The Hidden Cost of No Plan B
It’s not just about being offline for an hour or two. It’s about what breaks when that happens:
-
Lost sales and delayed orders
-
Frustrated customers who can’t get through
-
Productivity grinding to a halt
-
Employees standing around, waiting
And if you’re in a rural area like much of the U.P., your internet options are already more limited—and recovery time can be longer.
What Continuity Looks Like
At DS Tech, we help businesses create continuity plans that go beyond “hope it doesn’t happen.”
That includes:
-
Backup internet connectivity (like LTE failover or dual providers)
-
Cloud-based tools that don’t rely on a single office connection
-
Clear communication plans for employees and customers during an outage
-
Testing drills so your team knows what to do
Because the best time to find out what breaks during an outage… isn’t during an actual outage.
