01 / The Problem
Bad IT Costs More Than Good IT
Downtime costs Canadian SMBs an average of $5,600 per hour. A single ransomware attack can shut an Ontario business down for weeks. Most IT problems aren't dramatic — they're slow, invisible, and avoidable:
- Unexpected downtime costing thousands in lost productivity
- No IT person in-house when something breaks at the worst time
- Outdated systems creating security and compliance risk
- Data loss with no tested backup or recovery plan
- Employees bypassing IT with personal devices and shadow apps
At Databending, we fix the foundation — and make sure it stays fixed.
