Some of the key finding of this survey include:
In regards to the second key finding, most believe that they meet their 99.9% availability goal but many of these have had and outage in the last 3 months. I suppose the last 3 months could have been an outlier. I guess it could also be possible that the outage was very brief. So maybe this isn’t too delusional, but still highly suspect.
What surprises me about item 3 is that only 68% rated service availability as highly critical to their customers. Maybe this is because the SaaS applications that they are providing have an insignificant impact on the productivity of their clients. If so, then the 32% that don’t rate service availability as highly critical have some other issues that they need to tackle.
The last item – item 4 – very concerning. First, successful businesses provide their clients with something that they need. If you are providing your clients with something that they need, and that they rely on or that is mission critical to their business, then they deserve to be informed about application status. If they are not properly informed then they are likely to distrust you, particularly when system availability goes down or starts acting on the fritz. As a result they will be prime for a competitor to steal. If you want a loyal, trusting relationship with your clients you must communicate application status in a timely and appropriate manner. You need an application status page that focuses on informing your end-users.
