The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In financial services, business continuity managers and risk analysts spend 1.7 hours each week updating BCDR budgets. The process involves collecting vendor quotes from Outlook, copying figures into Excel, and formatting justifications for PowerPoint reports. Tracking changes and version control across shared drives leads to errors and wasted time.
